Manual swap. What to do with the automatic transmission harness?

Swapped MT. The auto harness is now useless and no good spot to hide. Is it safe to cut? Any suggestions?

I just zip tied mine to one of the AC lines in the back, I will remove it eventually when I can source a manual loom.

The reason why I didn't cut it is because I assumed it contained hardware to jump the CAN bus with the harness unplugged and I didn't want to mess with it, although you probably will be able to get away with just cutting it after thinking about it.
