“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
You can remove the Firing pin Plunger and spring from the slide, put them in a plastic bag and keep that with the manual. Then it will be just like a Series 70.
You can leave the levers in the frame or remove them. If you elect to remove the levers, you will need the shim to occupy the space in the frame originally used by the levers.
The plunger is not there to keep the extractor in the slide, the Firing Pin Stop does that job. (actually the extractor keeps the plunger in the slide).
Gotcha. So just remove the plunger and spring; the shim is needed in order to remove the levers. I’d like to do that much since I’ve gathered that the plunger lever could lift into the vacant plunger hole causing a slide movement issue.
Thanks. Clearing it up more and more.

I suppose the firing pin safety system does exactly what it's supposed to -- keep Colt liability lawyers under-employed.
People all over the world must be dropping their 1911s directly on to the muzzle from 10 feet up. Certainly all the horsemen armed with government models who ride on pavement. Surely everyone knows of failed 1911 drops.
Otherwise there are at least seven unique Series 80 parts that must all work in harmony to give you the same peace of mind and smooth trigger as the legacy lockworks.
