Default neutral safety switch probs/how do i override or surpass

ok here's my situation....my 86 gt needed a tranny so i found a c4 for a good price...took her home and finally got it in...restored other thing to get it into running condition but now i hit a wall ....the neutral safety switch needs to plug into the tranny but i've got no place to plug it in at???? i know there are ways to override this and i was wondering if anyone could inform me on how to do so...please

this is the last step before she runs and it's spring!!! i need to get her out on the road asap!!! [/align]

Just trace the wires back from the neutral switch to wherever they connect, and replace it with a wire, or a fuse to be safe.

not to mention it will also make the car legal, and it would pass tech if it ever went to the track
