YES, it has been done many times when using the 3-link assembly from FFR. Also the spring mounts can be removed if using coil-overs.

I can see removing the quad shock mounts as long as you're upgrading/using a set of coilovers.
But I don't know how you could remove the upper control arm mounts and actually use the rearend in a car. How would the power be transferred to the chassis if the control arms aren't attached to it?
Thanks,
Will

Thanks for the clarification.
Clearly my set up is a 4 link and they are most definitely needed for that arrangement!
Hopefully, the OP was asking about a 3 link...
Thanks,
