Replace the units with 1s?

ReplaceAll[VacuumPermeability,Rule[Alternatives[Second,Volt,Ampere,Meter],1]]

or

VacuumPermeability/.\[InvisibleSpace]Second|Volt|Ampere|Meter\[Rule]1

By the way, given the definition of VacuumPermittivity, do you think
the magnitude of VacuumPermittivity should be exact like
(1/(VacuumPermeability*SpeedOfLight^2)) or that it should be the
MachinePrecision value it current is?

Full disclosure: I think it should be exact, even though others on the
list seem to disagree.
