LS in 71 K10 without transfer case?

[blackhawck]

Starting my research and parts acquisition for an Ls swap. Currently have 350/TH350 NP205 combo. I've been reading how to adapt the 4l60 to the 205 or use the th350.
Has anyone ever just put in an ls/4ls60 without a transfer case? I know it's a K and bought it as 4x4 but at this time rarely if ever use it as that but still like the "look". Just thought if it saved a ton of headaches and additional $$$ I could just run it as two wheel drive?????
