For full color you'd need to put the yellow cart back in.  Whether swapping
a single cart is worth the effort is too individual for me to answer.

Then either the ABW mode or QTR would be the methods you might want to use.

For the best B&W, I recommend replacing the yellow with another light ink
that is composed of carbon.
