To remove the BCU you will need to swap all the electrics and electronics to those from a mk1 and will have to swap the dash or customise the switches and in doing so you'll lose climate control if fitted.

Yeah, you don't want to be trying to retro-fit an entire Mk1 loom into a Mk2, just for the sake of a remap!
You'd lose the potential for a lot more than you'd gain.
