Strange things

I believe you can unplug the large one, I don't remember what the small device is. So far as bypassing the seat belt interlock, that is easy. Look under the hood, usually on the driver side fender apron, for a small relay box with a big reset button. It has two "yellowish" wires which are the start relay circuit. Permanently splice them together at the reset box.

I agree. If you are after the stock look, take the can off and jumper the yellow wires inside. Then put the can back on. The first picture looks like a relay of some kind.
