I doubt removing the emergency brake will cause any problems, correct? Mine is almost shot as it is, won't even hold the car at full click.

I THINK YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP BOTH (SHIFT LOCK and THE E-BRAKE. THE EBRAKE IS VERY EASY TO ADJUST, AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO THAT. On the "driver's side" of the console there is an opening with a cover - a small screwdriver will easily pop it off (but do it carefully). You can see two nuts to loosen - one is the locking nut (on the top). Loosen the locking nut (10 MM wrench) and begin to tighten (clockwise) the bottom nut. This tightens up / adjusts your e-brake. Of course, if you have the console off, this is MUCH easier to do.
Don't know about your location, but a car will NOT pass annual inspection here in Virginia if the e-brake doesn't hold the car when in gear. And as I mentioned, you really should have the e-brake and in good working order.
