We could. But the computer does a nice job of the idle speed control (keeps steady speed as AC compressor kicks on/off, and when the trans is put in gear) and there's no down side to having the idle speed control working. There wouldn't be any significant advantage to removing it, AFAICT. The important part is disabling the emissions junk to keep soot out of the intake, and removing several miles of potentially leaky vacuum tubing.
