Has anyone disabled the switch so you DON’T have to depress clutch to start car ? If so how’s you do it ?

So you're not concerned with starting the car in gear? You could disconnect the wires and put a jumper in the connector, I think.

Doing a remote start?
My ‘65 SS had no clutch interlock, and there was a time or two that it was handy for moving the car with the starter.
