NO it cannot be done. The red is molded in. It's not behind a smoked cover like on the TA lights.

I've seen 1993-1997 Firebird taillights with the red lenses removed. Its the 1998-2002 Firebird taillights where the red lens is integrated. Maybe someone who's actually done it can chime in.

I was hoping for the same answer as you, since I bought a pair of early 4th gen tails.

Even still, they're way better than the LS1s with random lines and amber.
