Default z06 stubby conversion help

So guys I bought the stubby metal antenna and when I go to remove the tall factory power antenna I don't know what to do about the plastic cable that runs to the antenna. Can I get some help here? 02 z06 and I just applied my rear blackout kit so I don't wanna take out tailight if possible. Thx guys

If you have to, isn't the taillight 2 screws and about 20 seconds?

You don't take off the entire assembly, just unscrew the mast and replace with the stubby. Should take no more than 10 seconds.
