Default Seat Belt Light When Using Race Seat

I have a C5 Z06 and bought a race seat and harness bar for it to use at HPDE's. Does anyone know how to disable the seat belt warning light when you remove the stock driver's seat? It appears that the switch/plug from the seat belt recepticle that normally closes the circuit, goes into the power seat module (which is removed with the stock seat). Is there a way to jumper 2 wires in the plug that is left behind that goes under the carpeting to disable the dashboard warning? I know it's not a big deal, but I don't want to get in the habbit of ignoring dashboard lights so I would prefer to disable it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pfhat makes a plug to compensate and to let telescoping wheel work if you have one but it is not cheap. If it is just the light put some black tape over it.

You can spend even less effort if you ignore it. I don't even notice the light on my instrument panel when I have the race seat in the car. I had to think very hard whether or not it even lit up then determined it must since it lights when I don't fasten the belt when using the regular seat.
