Well, I wasn't going to try it as I did find a new wing for my BC, BUT now I think I am going to need to try it out just as an experiment. I am out ocean diving this weekend, so I am not going to try it here, but when I get back home this week I will give it a whirl.
good luck.
I used to dive in Hawaii in 75-85 degree water with just a backpack, no wetsuit and maybe 2-4 lbs, unless I was feeling lazy and "forgot".
I loved diving with less gear...couldn't do that in California, though!

"Don't believe everything you think"
When I dive in 80F water, I don't use the BC for anything more than a tank mount, it is true . . . and I don't need any weight, either . . .
have done this a few times, i do not recommend it. too many "What If's" involved.
and as was said here: why reinvent the wheel?
i would take the smallest bladder i could if it is drag i was worried about.
there have been many dives that i had not touched my inflator at all.
but i would rather have it there for when i need it.
