Do you still have the shims? If so, would you be interested in letting them go? I've got 2" drop shackles, but had to put the stock shackles back on due to a significant vibration from 15-20 mph.

Block or no block, if you did drop shackles the shims are needed.

So they are not needed if I just take out the block and don't do shackles?

Correct. If you remove the block and keep stock shackles you will be fine. You would basically have the same as a stock 2WD.
