Default Replacing adjustable shocks

I have a 92 with 65k. It has the adjustable suspension option. The shocks need to be replaced. Can I replace them with a regular nonadjusting shock?

Yes but you'll throw a code. You can pull the bulb on the DIC or just cover the light up with black tape.

I did the very same thing on my 93 LT1. The adjustable shocks were not functioning and turning on the error code light due to broken gears at the top of the shocks. I replace all the shocks with std. Bilstiens and disconnected the black box shock controller from behind the passenger seat. When I did that no more error light on the dash. By the way I sold the parts including the controller box to a rebuilder for a few bucks. (I think around $50-$75 if my memory is correct.)
