AIH relay delete?

I'd like to remove the AIH relay to make some room under the hood. What do I do with the wires? Tape them up or can they placed onto the GPR relay? My main concern is the thicker gauge constant hot wire on the relay. Thanks

Put the fat wire on the GPR or cut it out of the harness. The small wires carry a ground signal IIRC and can be taped up. (There will be a soft code from this)

This is an awfully thick power wire to just tape up. If it were to short out then bad things will happen. I would consider placing it on the hot pin of the GPR as SSJ mentioned.
