If you're holding the club at the same position relative to the head there will be just a minuscule difference in swingweight due to the loss of mass that used to be above your hands. That mass was so close to the fulcrum, I doubt any human would notice the difference with all things being equal. With that said, it's not really possible to keep all things equal since you will be gripping it with fatter part of the grip as has already been mentioned. The difference in grip position/feel will far outweigh any change in the swingweight*.
*relative to where you have been gripping the club

In addition to, and perhaps more important than, swingweight changes..... With length changes that dramatic the lie angles are sure to require modification. I've never attempted single length experiements myself so I cannot comment much on its affectiveness. But I do know that the traditional way clubheads are built is centered on length changes in the set - minor increases in clubhead speed, minor descreases in shaft flex, etc. to match the clubheads loft and center of gravity for proper launch. Monkey too much with one variable and the result starts to change. Basically, you're setting yourself up for a lot of equipment modifications in addition to cutting a shaft shorter. But hey - experiment away - I love it when someone else offers to be the lab rat  |

But hey - experiment away - I love it when someone else offers to be the lab rat well thats the thing i'd adjusted my stance/swing/etc so that the clubs (when choked down on about 2") had the lie angle I like. i just got used to the swing and liked the results. the lie angle isn't an issue.  |
