Any way to eliminate cruise control for one wire TB?

Any way to eliminate cruise control for one wire TB? I have a 2000 SS with cruise-control. I want to clean up the engine bay and getting the three throttlebody-wires that cross the engine bay are part of my efforts. Is there any way to convert it over to the one-wire style like non cruise-control cars? What I'm really looking for is a write-up. Thanks- Mike W.

depends if you want the cruise to still work or not.
we eliminated it on a car a few weeks ago, took out all the cruise and traction stuff under the hood and ran a non -tcs cable no issues and one cable

Holy ****, 8lbs! The cruise control does not weigh 8 lbs. I'm assuming then that If I delete the cruise control then I lose my ASR as well? Do I have to buy a non-TCS cable? I was hoping I could just use one of the three that already exist.
I'm not happy about losing my cruise control, but I think the looks will make up for it.

Yes, your TCS light will be on all the time. Just unplug it and go. You will be eliminating cruise control as well. Just purchase a non-TCS throttle cable from GM. It is not hard to install either.

Did you just use Lokar's "off the shelf" LS1 cable or did you order a custom length one? How did you adapt it to the stock pedal? I have one of these sitting here in the package, but I haven't yet attempted to work it in...
I just addapted mine to work to the pedal. Mine is a little different application for mine is in a Jeep Wrangler, but I am sure it will work. It was just the LS1 throttle cable and I cut it to length!! Hope this helps!!

I'm a little confused.
1.) If I remove the motor so that I only have ONE-wire running from the peddle to my TB, will this will kill my cruise control and my TCS?
2.) Is the ASR button that I have next to my foglight the same thing as TCS?
3.) Does the ASR or TCS have anything to do with my 4-ch. rearend?
4.) If I remove the TCS, will my 4-channel ABS still work?
5.) What I'm wondering is, I am currently looking at a used Moser with 3-ch. ABS. I have 4-ch. ABS. I was planning on having to convert the 3-ch. to 4-ch. But if I delete the TCS, will that matter anymore?
6.) Does the 4-ch. ABS keep the wheels spinning the same so you don't spin one tire faster, get sideways and smack the wall?

i dont belive it will affect your abs but the car we took it out of already deleted the abs functionality anyway , youll get lights in the dash not a huge deal, pull bulbs.
no you will not have working cruise control
no the cruise no longer works but never used it much anyway
cruise was stock on all of the cars i belive and the cable w/o asr/tcs(which are the same) will fit fine from the pedal to the tb
cars w/o tcs had another cable from cruise module to the tb so would in turn have two cables on tb

I think I answered my own question. I really want to delete this but I didn't want to do it if it was going to mess with my ABS. The TCS is ASR which I disable anyway when I race my car. It is nice when it rains but this car doesn't see rain. So I can delete the three-wire deal and the motor and still retain my ABS system. So my car won't stop itself when I launch but the car wil still not lock the brakes if I stop hard.
One final question is this: Does that motor control the a.) TCS b.) cruise control or c.) both?
The motor is coming out either way. I just want to know according to what badpewter-z said that if I remove it, I can still use two of the three cables to work my throttle and retain my ASR. So eliminating the motor eliminates the cruise control and motor???
