Blocking a tremolo

I'm gonna block my RG270 and I'm just wondering if I still have to lock the nut at all?

Stick a block of wood or something similar into the back of the guitar where the springs are so that the tremolo can't bend to higher notes, only lower notes. Keeping only one spring in the back (no tension on the spring) to make sure that the guitar is grounded.

Well, it couldn't hurt. The locking nut provides tuning stability. Hell, even when unblocked, you could leave it unlocked. You'd be an idiot to do it, but you could.

Likewise with it blocked. When any guitar company puts a locking nut on a guitar, they probably don't throw the world's greatest tuners behind it. After all, the tuners really aren't meant to withstand abuse (that's what the nut's for). If I were you, I'd lock it. It provides much greater stability, and takes 10 seconds to do... why not?
