Just disconnect the unwanted stages. Disconnect the plate resistor supplies on the stages you want to disconnect, and disconnect the input leads to the grids.
Simplest way is leave tube, leave plate resistor feed etc.
Just disconnect the green grid wire that brings feed in from the PA board.
On one amp there was already a hole in the back so I put a switch in so you could bring it in and out.

I've done the same with my 50W PA, I also kept the Valve in situ, but I blew the heater circuit in the Valve so it doesn't use the valuable heater AC in the amp.
