Is it a safety item that only starts the car with the clutch pedal pushed in?

That is an AC clutch disengagement switch. It turns the AC clutch off at WOT or when the PS pressure spikes such as when the wheel is turned all the way one direction. It is to make sure the engine does not die such as in tight parking maneuvers and also so that full power is had at WOT. Most likely was a special cop car part.

thank you

No, you don't need it. lol

that pot may control how low/high the engine RPM can go before the A/C clutch cuts out. Could be made a poor mans RPM switch?

Is it maybe so your cruise control gets switched off if you push the clutch in?
