Default removing hardwired fic

i plan to take my kit off in the near future and sell it but my fic was hardwired in. i know the unit came with these patch harnesses has anyone used those successfully? or will i have to remove the aem universal harness all together?
im just asking before hand if not i guess ill be the test dummy soon enough. lol nothing like this came up in my search so thought it wouldnt hurt to ask.
