In AE, is there a possibility to force planes to carry bombs instead of torpedoes?
For example, i want to launch a raid on an ennemy surface TF but because of a high
expected flak fire (at 200feet), i prefer to attack at high altitude with betty with bombs!!

Thats for the subs, not the planes. The M6A could at most carry either a single torpedo or a single 800kg bomb..

only by removing the primary float.

M6A did not have a centerline float like the A6M2-N - so all weapons were carried on centerline. Thus Im pretty sure it didnt need a modification to carry even the torpedoes or 800kg bombs.
Armament is listed as 'either' a 250kg bomb, or an 800kg load. It would seem that the recoverable loadout would be with the smaller bomb load while the latter would be sans float hence requiring sacrifice of the plane after mission completion. This would track with what Peattie wrote of the plane in his book "Sunburst" (on Japanese naval aviation)

I doubt the floats would be attached. They arent needed for takeoff.
