Plus, you could kneel on the OEM cushions when getting back there to clean the rear window. It sounds like the plastic replacement pieces won't support the weight of a person kneeling on them. It also sounds like most of the weight savings comes from the removal of the seat back, and the rest of the hardware - seat belts, brackets, etc..
Just wonderin'...

I don't think you can. IIRC, you remove the metal brackets that would hold the seat plus there's a cross piece (that the bottom flaps fasten to) that gets bolted in the seat bracket locations. If you don't use that piece, the panel that separates the trunk/cabin wouldn't have anything to rest on.
With enough tinkering you might be able to rig something up but probably not worth it for the price of the kit to only use 1 piece.
