Remove the shaft if you want, but then you MUST tap the oil feed hole in either the front cover or the front iron and install a grub screw to stop the oil flow. It's just that simple. 
In the past I've gone one step further and totally welded up the metering oil pump area of the front cover and ground it down. Looks like a factory front cover except no metering oil stuff. Confuses the hell out of people and I tell them it was a rare factory race front cover.

Nice I like that fix better. No extra bits I have to worry about, like e clips falling off the shaft or what have you.
I jus broke my 6/32 machine tap tho, and because Its busted I I'm sure it's the size I need. Hah
I have no real access to a TIG so ill just use my banzai block off

Wait doesn't that hole where the skinny part of the shaft is let oil by to lube the oil pump chain?
If you block it off on an NA front cover does the chain still get enough lube?
The turbo front cover the oil pretty much gets dumped on the chain except for the lil oil deflector fin
