Nope.
Be aware that you will lose TC lockup though. I assume you have a mechanical fuel pump, or you will have to wire your electric one to come on independent of the ECM.

No, you won't have any of that computer controlled crap.

You'll have that mechanical open-loop out-of-control crap.

Don't look at this only through those rose-colored glasses. There's always two sides to any coin.
