... but I've seen somewhere that you need to get rid of one of the wires coming from the bucker to wire it this way?

Not exactly. Four conductor humbucker give you all the leads for both coils. To play them as a humbucker (coils in series), the base coil's negative lead goes to ground, the second coil's positive lead goes to hot, and you simply solder the other two leads (commonly called the series pair) together, and tape them off so that they don't touch anything else in the control cavity. The bare wire in the bundle - actually a FIFTH conductor - is the ground/shield drain, and should ALWAYS be soldered to the guitar's ground, regardless of what other phasing or trick wiring schemes you have.
With all Seymour Duncan humbuckers, they indicate that the green is the ground, the black is the hot, and the red and white leads are the series pair.
So, solder your red and white leads together and tape them up, use green as the ground and black as the hot. Since you have used S-D pups in the bridge and neck, you shouldn't have the phasing problem that players have when they mix and match different brands of pickups.
