Check Engine Light after swap

I did an engine swap in my bird. 305 carb to a 350 carb. I took out the a/c while I was at it. I have ~5 wires that don't connect to anything anymore. Everything is great except I need the check engine light off to get a sticker. Can I bypass this or is there some way to truly fix it?

Thanks -Ben

I simply removed the bulb on the 85 Camaro.

I thought about that but won't they check to see if the light comes on at igntion set to RUN without the engine going? How hard is it to get in there and take the bulb out if I must go that route?
