Code Alarm delete for swap
 

**Before you go all key-board warrior, this tread is about a SWAP. I’m not trying to steal your old beater Chevy, and everyone knows this isn’t the security flaw in these trucks anyways, so if you are here to type in all caps about theft, you can take your Code Alarm box and shove it up your stupid 9” exhaust.**

Right, here’s the situation. I’m in the middle of swapping my 1993 6.5 Turbo Diesel (MT-2WD) into my 1974 C-30. The ‘93 got totaled, stripped, and crushed. I’m currently working on the wiring harness portion (out of vehicle) and would like to delete my Code Alarm system. The ‘74 doesn’t have any of the same features as the ‘93 (power locks, windows, remote, etc.) and for the life of the ‘93, the alarm was a pain in the ass in more ways than I care to remember. Now, doing the swap, I am interested in completely removing the Code Alarm unit. The wiring harness is a bird’s nest from the factory, and many of the alarm wires are in the way.

Can I completely remove the Code Alarm unit and the associated wiring and still start the vehicle, or will the ECU recognize the lack of alarm unit? If so, how can I bypass the alarm unit? Many thanks, I look forward to rolling coal in my ‘74.
