Hello, I read all the previous post and read several different answers on the question if the drive shaft can be removed to convert AWD to FWD. Thanks

If you intend to drive it till it dies, then disconnecting the shaft is fairly easy to do. Just be careful, it's heavy, especially when you are lying on your back.
Without AWD, you will experiance torque steer under hard accelleration. You will also get better mpg and top end speed.
