Is TCS on th-350 needed?

I got a th-350 tranny with a TCS, can I run it without the TCS? It is for a 69 (pre TCS) truck. Can I just plug the hole where the sensor is?
Thanx in advance

Disconnect it, they run better without.

The TCS switch on the trans. disables the distributor vacuum advance in first and second gears, and allows advance in third. Emissions crap.

Put all that stuff in a ziplock bag, mark it and save it. You may need it one day soon, I assume youv'e seen that our wonderful elected officials in Sac want to roll emissions tests back to 1966+.

Thanx for the reply. I guess I'd better keep my air pump and components also.

Yeah, SEMA has been involved. I was actually shot down a year or two ago but its like a bad dream it keeps returning.
