Welcome to Bronco Zone!!! There are a few topics on 2WD-conversion and lowered 78/79 Broncos. This pic isfrom the thread "Lowered pictures' in the Local Tavern from a few years ago:

The stock Bronco weighd in at about 5800 pounds, so you'll want to shave off about of ton of that weight for a drag setup. JSM84

That pic is NOT a Bronco!

However You can swap in a two wheel drive axle, but the steering and gear box and radius arms are different.

As far as wheight, depends what you want it for, A daily driver that drags on weekends or full drag racer, no t-case, no solid front axle, no tailgate, no rear seat, no pass seat, no top, thats a lot of wheight dropped.

wouldn't it be easier to just remove the front driveshaft??

I've done that before..dunno why, but if no need for 4wd, no need to wear out the u-joints lol

I think there's another pic of a red Bronco in that thread. It looks like it still has the front axle. I've had lots of discussion over a few brewski's about the benefits of 4WD in a drag truck.
