As I add in more switches, I'm going to notch the center console (near the power window switches) and poke them through there.

If he did it the only way I know of (that doesn't involve PROM burning), then he has to cut the VSS signal from the transmission which will afect a lot of other things such as the speedometer not working and shiftpoints will be strange. It's not something that you're supposed to leave disconnected for too long.

Exactly, i only swtich it when I have to and when i'm aproaching 105 or so, then turn it off immediatly after what ever reason i'm going so fast for. If that makes any sense
