IF you plan on dumping the computer setup then yea, you could remove almost all the wires and vacuum lines assosiated with the engine. The sensors on the heads are coolant temp, drivers side is for your dash guage the passenger side is for your electric fan.

IF you are going to a non computer controlled setup just unplug the ECM and accoiated wiering harness and stach it somewhere incase you ever need to return the car to stock.
