Yes it has been done before but you will get brake pad knockback with the 10 bolt.

It's been discussed many times. GMHTP did an article covering what's required. The gm 10 bolts used in these cars have their axle shafts retained by c-clips. The axles float in and out slightly, the floating calipers are able to cope with the movement. The pads on a fixed caliper, on the other hand, would get "knocked" back from the movement of the axle shafts moving in and out.

Yes on a car with an independent rear you'll be fine to do that.
