I need to know everything that needs to get swapped over to convert an AWD to FWD. I also need to know how the rear end works without the driveshaft. That's the jist of it. Here is what I think I know

Parts needed
-FWD tranny
-Long axle / short axle
-FWD turbo clutch / flywheel
-FWD starter plate ( do years matter or just fwd/awd. The FWD shit is from a 90 and my AWD shit is a 91)

Now the dilema of the rear end. Can't really remove it because there wouldn't be any support from wheel to wheel. Is there a way to leave the rear end in but keep out the drive shaft without hurting the differential?

Again, tech only please. I'm doing this for specific reasons that are unavoidable. I have a spair FWD setup sitting in my garage and don't have the cash for another AWD tranny / tcase. Nor do I really care because it's stock and it's nice out.
