Default BCM Delete

I did a search and didn't see anything that helped.
Can the bcm be deleted? I have a 1SC car so no power windows or locks and if i just unplug the bcm the cars wont start. Is there a way i can bypass? Has anyone done this? I know I'm not the only one to want to do this.

You have to delete VATS in the PCM and also I *think* the starter solenoid signal wire goes thru the BCM.

there is a yellow/black wire that goes to the BCM that needs to be grounded for it to crank, you will also need to shut off VATS in your tune or the car wont stay running.

The BCM also controls the dome lights, alarm and retained accessory power (radio staying on until you open the door).

The car doesn't have a dome light or radio so none of that is a problem. i will look into the yellow/blk wire, thanks

Seems like mroe trouble than its worth from what i know about the BCM on these cars. Especially if you arent out of other areas to remove weight.
