It will be just fine with at least the rear bar delete. If there is to be a remaining bar I'd think you'd want it on the heavy end- the front. My Metro never had a rear bar.

None of my Tempos ever had a rear bar; sway tuning was done with the front bar. I experimented with three different strength bars on two different Tempos and found:
on the 'Coupe, which is lowered which means the springs are slightly stiffer, a heavier bar than stock only added ride harshness without any discernable cornering advantage on the street; on an a/t Tempo, which gets a heavier bar stock because the a/t puts more weight up front, I put a lighter m/t bar in and enjoy a noticeably smoother Cadillac ride.
