Super Switch Wiring help swaping 4 conductor wire for two wire pickup help

I recently wired a strat pickguard with two cool rails and a custom custom. I used the super 5 way wiring diagram to wire it up. The cool rails are gone and I am wiring up standard two wire pickups in their place. Can I use simply wire the two pickups in on this layout? Does anyone have any experience with this wiring and swaping 4 conductor pickups to standard 2 wire? Thanks in advance.

For three single coils and a superswitch:

Wire the bridge hot to a P1 lug on one bank of contacts. Put a jumper over to P2 on the same bank.

Wire the neck hot to P4 and P5 on the same bank.

On a separate bank wire the middle to P3, P4 and P5.

Wire the two "outs" from each if these banks first to each other then one single wire on to the volume pot.

Now you've got P1 = Bridge, P2 = Bridge + middle, P3 = middle only, P4 = middle + neck, P5 = neck. In other words, standard Strat.

Now decide how you want to wire the tones.

I am removing the single cool rails in neck and middle. I am hoping to only re-wire those 4 wires. Would I simply put the ground and hot where the others were or would that cause problems in the 2 and 4 positions?

This diagram looks interesting.

The diagram has the middle rail working in reverse to hum-cancel when split. If you are doing two 2-conductor singles, you would put the middle positive/hot conductor where the middle PU red wire is going in the drawing, and the middle PU ground wire where the middle PU white wire is going in the drawing and ignore the middle PU black/green wires from the drawing. For the neck 2-conductor single, you'd put the neck conductor where the neck black is going in the drawing, and put the neck ground where the neck green/bare are going in the drawing and ignore the red/white wires.
 
That is great advice, is that for the Seymour wiring diagram that I used? I just follow those rules and used the Duncan diagram? Thanks in advance Sir!
