Front Drive Delete

HI All….
I was recently given an 05 Grizzly 660. I’m in the process of rebuilding the motor. Its in bad shape and that’s why it was given to me. Other than that the bike is in pretty good shape. I have a Polaris Sportsman already and really have no need for another utility quad. My plan is to trim the plastics, ditch the front and rear racks, and remove the front diff along with the axles and front drive shaft to reduce as much weight as possible.
Does anyone see any concerns with converting it to two wheel drive? I don’t mud and my Sportsman is set up to plow snow. I’m just looking to set it up more of a sport quad. I know there are some that will think its a dumb idea or some that will say to fix it then sell it and get a sport quad but I kinda like the idea of doing something a little different.
Thanks….Mike
