Damn, I was hoping to find the answer to this. TMO's site does indeed say you will find a green wire, but my car also has 2 black wires. Anyone got the answer? (I'll keep searching)

"Just cut the black/red wire in half, and leave it hang for now. When you get my chip, just splice a piece of wire on to the end of the wire that is still connected to the clutchswitch and run it over to pin 104 of the ECU. Just remember to also cut the black wire COMPLETELY LOOSE from pin 104, do not just vampire clamp into the wire. With the wire cut off the switch, you will be able to start the car without pushing in the clutch, but the switch will still be functional for the stutterbox. You will NOT need the diode kit, since you are no longer connecting the ECU and starter relay together."
Awesome. I did find that eventually. This should go in the how-to since its obviously an obvious point of confustion. Everyone uses TMO's write up and then scratches their head while laying upside down in the drivers seat like "wtf? I don't have a green wire".
Thanks for your help!

Yeah, that stuff has been floating around so long that I lost them. I figured I'd just use the instructions from TMO anyways, but didn't realize there were GVR4 intricacies.

Clay, Yes, you could use the cruise switch, but I believe it is the opposite logic of the bottom switch. It grounds the one wire when the clutch is pushed in, instead of it being grounded when the clutch is out, as the starter interface switch does. However, I CAN reverse the logic in the chip, if you are game to experiment. You just need to figure out which wire is which. According to the schematic, there is a black wire, and a green wire with a black stripe. The black wire is ground, so the wire you want to cut is the green/black striped wire. You install the diode the same way, with the banded end toward the switch. Let me know if anyone wants to play with this.
