Considering the front strut is essentially your upper ball joint, its kinda hard to get rid of it.

Actually, your a-arms do have a place to mount shocks. Of course your factory shock is mounted to the spindle, it's called a strut. The lower a-arms on f-bodies are the same as g-bodies and s-10's, and they mount their shocks in the middle of the coil spring. I think you would have to modify your frame to accept the upper shock mount. Any reason you want to run 2 shocks?
