Default skip shift install

so i recently purchased my 01 z06 and do not like the skip shift so I purchased the eliminator kit. I have searched and read all the instructions... My only problem is I have jacked the car up and rolled under the car and I cant see the plug? It looks like above my h pipe I have a deflector or some sort of heat shield piece between the exhaust and the floor. Is this blocking the trans??? No one talks about removing any of this stuff in the install. everything says 10 minutes just lift and install. any help would be great. thanks

Like I was told when I got my first Z and asked about installing the shift eliminator, drive it and you will not need it. Never installed one just drive by it.
