PCM: keep or chunk?

I bought a '94 12V engine originally set up for automatic. My plan is to go NV4500 or 5600. Looks like there are 50 wires going to the PCM and was wondering, do I need this thing or do I just run 12vdc to the fuel shutoff, toggle switch to the grid heaters and be done? What are y'all doing?

Anyone have an engine wiring diagram for a '94 that they could scan?

I'd rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy!
