No it cannot.
Once you've installed a CLB, it's impossible for the CL to engage. The CLB plugs into where the CL actuator would normally plug into on the harness. The CL must be unplugged to install the CLB, so therefore it cannot engage at all once the CLB is installed.

Aside from that, no it's not visible anywhere unless the installer purposely put it outside the knee panel. But I really doubt they'd do that. (That'd be like installing the security alarm brain in plain site.)
You're looking for a small electronics box similar to the one in this picture: (The cigarette-lighter wire will not be there. It's only used for installation)

Good thing youre not asking about 02's...
Noisy *** sumbitches. Always something tinking, clinking, whining, vibrating, rattling- you name it.
The valve trains are crap. You can look at the "ad me to the list" thread.
The 02 has a heftier lope to the cam- valvetrain is noisy like a freakin sewing machine.
The Ti's are always rattling- the clutch rattles when not engaged.
Now, to the good things: They look cool. They go fast.
I have a CDL too. That has actually saved me in court instead of being a hinderance.

02 is a bad year huh? that sucks. looking at a 02 z06 with 66k miles. owner said the valve fell off when he was driving to work. then extended warranty covered it with brand new engine at the dealer. didn't know they have that, I tho extended warranty cover like used or rebuilt engine but brand new? and also it's a 14 years old car. not sure, I will need to take a look at the car in person. any other things I should look for in 02 z06?
asked if any problems he said none, is that possible on a 14 years old car? he did say he took good care of it.

Lots of various issues with C5's.
- Leaky rear top where it is joined to the upper tub.
- Gas gauge issues.
- Oil Pressure Sensor issues.
- Leaky axles.
- EBCM issues
- Electrical Issues (all types).
- Battery leakage problems on to PCM.
- Clutch / Slave issues.
- Tranny / Synchro issues
- Torque Tube Couplers / Bearings.
Those are the main issues that you'll face. If you're handy with a wrench and have a place to work on the car, most of them can be fixed relatively easily.
