you should be able to take it all out and plug off the holes.
you'll need to plug or cover the injector hole, plus plug the hole in the back of the fuel rail where it "starts".
that should be it! Wink

The 9th injector just runs off switches in the block, not the ecm. So you can follow the wires back to where ever and clip them or unplug them.

This is probably a dumb question, but why delete the cold start injector??? Unless you went to SD.

I couldn't start my '85 305 TPI at all when the 3amp fuse was out.

The cold start injector is run from its own thermostat called the cold start switch.

Chiltons says this about the switch (and I quote)

Opens above 35*C or 95*F. Stays closed for 8 seconds when coolant is -20*C or -5*F

So once the thermostat closes (turns on the injector at -5*F) it will stay on for 8 seconds or if the thermostat hits 95*F. SO if you don't drive your car at almost 30* below freezing, you'll be fine to disconnect it.
