Vats / Passlock Bypass Help '98 K2500

Your bypass post was extremely detailed, but my circumstances are quite a bit different...

I recently purchased a 1998 Suburban K2500 at an insurance auction for the specific reason of towing my race car to-and-from the track. The Suburban had been stolen and then recovered and had an aftermarket security system / remote start, etc. but when it was recovered, the ignition lock had been destroyed, the wiring under the dash and the aftermarket security system had been ripped-up, and the key which doesn't start the car anyway doesn't have a pellet...

Fully aware of this damage before I bid on the car, I used a pair of jumper wires to jump the leads of the starter relay in the power distribution box under the hood... The car fired-up and ran briefly until, what I assume was the fuel cut-out at the injectors. Needless to say, I won the bid and had to have the car towed to my house.

I have already removed the dash, cluster, etc. to try to get the thing to fire-up and it repeatedly dies after a few seconds... bare in mind the only way I can still get it to turn over is by jumping the starter relay leads...

Since the dash is already removed and the lock is destroyed, Is there any way I can completely bypass the VATS / PASSLOCK without having the fuel cut-out, so I can at least drive the thing to a shop and work on it properly...

Any assistance is sincerely appreciated... Bare in mind, I have a bit of mechanical experience, but have never seen the electrical system on this type of car and have nothing to compare it to... And there are a lot of dangling wires under the dash with many disconnected leads that I am unsure if they were OEM or from the aftermarket security system...
