If you want the whole background to disappear, simply call set_axis_off method.
ax.set_axis_off()
To control the visibility of each element, use something like below.
for axis in ax.w_xaxis, ax.w_yaxis, ax.w_zaxis:
for elt in axis.get_ticklines() + axis.get_ticklabels():
elt.set_visible(False)
axis.pane.set_visible(False)
axis.gridlines.set_visible(False)
axis.line.set_visible(False)
