There are a couple of system switches that can be changed to make the ECU think it's in neutral all the time, then it wont look for the transmission. There may be a couple of pins that could be jumped, from the MLPS harness possibly, which would essentially do the same thing.

the A9P will also work. just so you know the lightning computer may be looking for the tranny but will not cause any driveability issues with it not being there. but i think going to a mustang mass air harness and computer would work best regardless and probably fit the engine bay nicely as well.
