I'm not up much on what can be done on reprogramming the Module that connects with the EPB to block it from generating lights/codes if the original EPB motor was left off the car after the switch.
So only thing that could be done at this point is:
Modify/create a parking brake lever for manual operations to the SS parking brake in place of the EPB motor. I have found a few aftermarket foot pedal cable kits for under-dash left side or add a pull lever along the transmission tunnel near the floor in front of the seat. But they are universal kits.
or
Install a manual Hydraulic brake lock between the master cylinder & rears, in the floor on the left side of the seat, to use as a parking brake.
Then Create a bracket on each side of the rear cross-member to mount the original electronic parking brake motor of the old caliper, so it can stay connected to the computer & still allow it to to do its test for the brake controller to prevent any codes from being generated. But even that requires a little fabrication on a mount & something to allow the motor to move slightly back & forth, but with some resistance to make it think it is pressing into the brakes firm & releasing.
If your not worried about seeing the parking brake malfunction notice/light, then could leave them off the car.
But that is about it, so it's just on what you want to do.
I still have all the parts, but since possible issues with my extended warranty, i put on hold till it expires.
Sorry , but those are the only option at this point.

I'm thinking out loud here.......so bare with me.
Another option could be: use SS rotors, backing plates, knuckles and calipers. Make a caliper mounting adapter plate to mount the LT caliper 180 degrees from the SS caliper. The LT calipers would have to be swapped side to side to keep the bleeder ports on top. Paint them black so they are not obvious. The car has the original PB so no issue with wiring or programing anything
This is the part I don't know: does the LT caliper actuator need hydraulic fluid to function? If not, easy. You're done. If so, that greatly complicates matters and may be why y'all have not gone down this path.
