You might want to unplug the computer and see if it causes issues before you rip out a bunch of wires.

It's been a long time, however, I don't think it's as simple as a straight removal. You'll want to map every wire and verify that none go to a dummy light or something that's going to pop on when it's unplugged. Otherwise yeah, no problems.
