All you have to do is reach under the car, and pull off the CAGS connector from the side of the tranny (it is conveniently placed OUTSIDE the tranny - almost as if GM thought there might be those who would disconnect this function!).
You can also buy a module to plug into said connector for about $25, and it can also be eliminated through a tune.

You can also pull the fuse to the backup lights, if you don't want to jack the car up and crawl under it.
The best way is to buy a CAGS plug, available from several Corvette catalogs, to plug the disconnected ends at the trans. It's only about $20. This will also prevent an alarm message.

its not just a light, CAGS clicks a solenoid over to prevent shifting into 2nd.
If its a 96, you need to buy a CAGS eliminator, or you will get a CEL.
I have one on mine, and it works fine, light still comes on, but no noid forcing me to skip shift.
NOW! all that said. I skip shift all the damn time when I'm trying to get good mileage.
Averaging about 18.7 in the city

Is this eliminator the same thing as stopping the overdrive in the 4+3 from being automatic and converting it to manual? Or is this just a way to eliminate the annoying upshift light on the dash?

I've had my 1992 LT1 a couple of months now and had the CAGS disabled a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't work out when I bought the car why I couldn't engage 2nd gear when in traffic. The mechanic I took it to fixed it in 5 minutes. I can't see how rapping it out in 1st gear so that you can get into 2nd gear can be an economy measure

Silly? Well, that depends...
). However, this particular annoyance has an easy "fix". Both of my C4s have had that little annoyance dealt with by previous owners, but if it hadn't been, it is easy enough to simply pull the plug (as mentioned before!). For a frustrated mechanical engineering type (like me), automotive engineering is fascinating to observe to see how with each MY they meet the challenges of emissions, economy, etc, and still strive for performance. CAGS is just one of them.
CAGS...part of a ballet all of us - GM included - have to endure long enough to get a "pass" from the EPA...
