Default Oil level sensor delete?

I'm currently running the Moroso 21150 oil pan which does not have a provision for the oil level sensor. I don't need a sensor to tell me to check my oil so is there any way to disable it? I've seen oil pressure sensors fail and engines still running fine with no ECM issues.

Connect the sensor harness wires together

I think there is three wires in the connector but not sure. I'll take a better look tomorrow.

It should be just 2 wires. When the oil level goes below the sensor, the "Float" at the end of the sensor moves which breaks/interrupts the circuit setting off the idiot light.

Somewhere on the interwebs, there is a plug that connects into your existing plug on the harness that that just continues the circuit without cutting and splicing the wires, if you want it to look fancy lol. I bought it for a LS swap I did a few years back, it was under $5.
