Not sure what year SS you have but, on my '95 the choke is attached to the master cylinder and I was able to remove everything else. ( I left the plastic disk that separates the choke from the control pod )
The choke cable end can slip out of its little 'holder' but I just pop it back in and adjust the choke and turn it off when warmed up, haven't had a single issue. Nothing fancy but it works...
I'll post a pic later tonight...
Here's the pic - hope it helps..
