If you manage to disable it during install configuration (shell access) but
before actual system installation, there is nothing else to do.
If you install a partition with su+j, then as tunefs(8) says, you have to have
your partition unmounted or ro to disable "J". But before doing that, you should
run 'fsck' on that partition to have (select) journal played itself empty.
Btw, any "J" partition has .sujournal file, e.g.
# ls -al /.sujournal
You can get rid of it then.
