W/o the cc carb & dist the computer would be in limp mode anyway (doesn't the CEL light or is the bulb pulled?), & refuse to control the lockup, so you might just as well pull it, except if it controls fans & A/C then you might have to wire around that. Try to just unplug it and see what happens. There are different lockup kits available, & you could even make up one yourself relatively easy.

the ECM has nothing to do with the a/c
whole different circuit and harness, it is in the main car harness, the ECM harness is all by itself and the TCC lockup is in it though
good luck
