Deleting front tank

I'm really considering deleting the front tank on my F150, The fuel pump is just about shot and i'll beable to run a dual exhaust easier. I'd like to completely remove the selector valve also, anyone have any information on this? Is it possible to do without cutting the fuel lines?

You could just cut the rubber section of the lines to the front tank, plug them with a steel rod, then apply a small hose clamp, and leave the selector valve in the rear position.

If that doesn't float your boat, you can replumb the truck using factory fuel lines, using bronco parts since broncos only had the rear tank.

I like the idea of just clipping the lines, but my selector valve is also screwed up. It's got the infamous problem of sending excess fuel when being used on the rear tank to the front tank. Could i delete the selector valve with a rubber line?
