Yes it can be omitted if you are installing a different ignition. Just unplug it. You can use the positive lead going to it to power your new ignition system if you wish. You will need to replace the original coil most likely also.

If your are going to trash that old Bosh ignition module, I am willing to receive it. Paying for mail of course.  Shipping to Miami Florida.
