I don't think so, it's a seperate accessory harness. I drove my car with non of the cruise control things plugged, it ran fine.

Put the brake switch back in and plug it up or your TCC will be in-op. The cruise plug is on the tail light switch while the cruise vacuum plunger is on the TCC switch

Not sure why GM did it that way, but its how it is
