Auto to Standard Swap, what to do with lockup?

Im sure this has already been asked, but I couldnt find anything in the archives unless I overlooked it. So, for anyone who has converted their automatics with the lock up to a standard what did you do with the computer that is trying to lock up the tranny? or will it ignore it since it wont be getting any information from the tranny to tell it its in 4th gear to lock it up? I have an '89 IROC TPI/700 complete and have found a good deal on a T56 complete but this is the problem I am looking at. Can I put in the computer for the 305/5 speed set up?
thanks in advance.

Dont worry about it. The computer wont care, and you wont set a code.
