He said 'without', but I don't know the answer. I've heard that you should use 75% of the original recipe, but don't trust me on that.
 
I had a similar thread recently. I was doing my first late extract addition brew. I was told a general rule is to decrease your bittering hops by 25%. But, keep in mind I have no experience (I haven't tasted the result of my first late extract addition batch), and that amount is a generalization.
