Everything is technically in place aside from the actual shielded line and possibly a few sleeve retainers, the issue is with how the computer is going to cope with you making adjustments outside of the predetermined route. For instance, from what I remember of the unintended acceleration trial, the computer will cut the engine when it determines that the throttle body is stuck.
