Yes, easy change, all you need is a 2.2k-Ohm 1/2 watt 5% resistor, Radio Shack number 271-1171, .99 cents for 5, and plug it into the lead to your transmission, done.
Many sites on the net have picture instructions on how to install it.
The '93 is OBD-2. He can disconnect the skip-shift without worrying about any codes being set. It's around '95 and later that GM switched to OBD-3 and you need the resistor.
Now you're one up on me, I was under the impression there is an OBDI and then OBDII, 1/1/1996, but the OBDIII is still in the development stages. Some vehicles were changed over to OBDII as early as 1994, Corvette was one of them. Ether way you need to at the very least seal the wire contacts to prevent a corroded mess that can't be re-attached if needed. My uninformed guess would be that the 1993 is an OBDI system but would react as you suggest as I've never done one and would have given the computer the resistance needed to fool it all the time.
Back in 1997 I saw allot of lip flapping about OBDIII but most were still talking about when it would happen even in 2005. Even
I have NO clue as to what my 95 has...OBD 1 2 or 3 who knows... BUT I do know I unhooked my 1st to 4th shift "plug" about 2 days after I purchased the car 10 years ago.... NO Light, NO fuss..and NO problems with the Emission Police...

Naaa I just yanked mine, been fine for 12 years. :-)
And it's a much more solid car than say...... a C5.
