When we've done this in the past we have singled out the wiring for the reversing lights and just left the original gear shift neutral start switch wiring connected, but tucked away out of sight. Above or beside the 5 speed box up in the tunnel.

It is important to leave the Auto selector in Neutral or the original system will think it is in drive or reverse and not start the car.

You also need to remove the ecu for the auto box from up behind the speedo. Just unplug it and leave the connectors tucked away again.

That's about as hard as it gets.
