Default knock sensor question

Do you keep the knock sensor when using a stand alone computer like BS3, electromotive tecIII, or Megasquirt? What about if its a solid roller? Thanks

ESC=electronic spark control?
I Know the tecIII has spark control. does that mean you could use knock sensors?

Any more noise on this? What about for LS2 knock sensor postions and the other odds and ends like cam and crank position sensors?
