If you had to notch the weight on those style P2K Geeps just to fit a motor only decoder - I think you're using the wrong motor decoder!
FOr motor only I've been using a TCS T1 and hard wiring it in. The lights get repalced with a T3 (3mm) Yelo-glo LED and 1K resisotr for each one - the LEDs fit int he space where the bulbs were and shine through the same plastic light guides. Another motor only option is the Digitrax DH165L0, it simply repalces the board with the 6 diodes, and has resistors in palce to use the stock light bulbs with no other changes required. Both of these fit int he space in the shell were the DC light board was with no need to mill any extra space.
