Default will 3 channel axles work in 4 channel rear with abs already inop

Would the abs be the only hold back? If so thats no problem the abs is no longer hooked up and I have no desire to hook it back up.
The rear thats in the car now is a 4 channel 3.23 rear and the pass side axle flange appears to be bent (wobble with wheel, caliper, and rotor off). I have a spare rear but its a 2.72 rear gear and just rather not have to swap the hole rear out. So what I am hoping I can do is to pull both axles out of the spare rear, inpect and make sure they dont have any abnormal wear and replace both sides along with new wheel bearings.

Yea now I get to look forward to the fun of changing the wheel barings out, but as long as the axles are ok (came out of running driving but high milege car) I can keep it cheap because screw a 7.5 10 bolt I have already had one rebuilt once aaaaaaaand screw that......never again my friend......never again. I do however plan to use the spare rear to learn how to set up gears. I have a 92 305 firebird that I have for a future project that I can use for a guinea pig.
