The pump is located under the manifold. The issue is that yes, you can just unplug the pump but I'm fairly certain that you will then solve the pump problem but create another since it's all tied into the system so you'll just get different codes.
Also, what codes do you have? There are certain limp modes where you can reset the system and be fine (until the issue is triggered again) and then there are codes which you can't clear with a reset and you'll have to replace the defective part, clear the codes and do the bypass to avoid any future failures.

I immediately shut off vehicle in the middle of the pump running and makeing noise. cleared codes with key on engine off and disconnected battery for 30 min.
I am not saying this way the right thing to do by any means.. however, i haven't had any issues or CELS since. Also just past NY State inspection. pump still makes noise every cold start.

Glad to hear you haven't had any more codes but I'd install the bypass asap. I followed the same thought process you are and out of the blue it came back with vengeance. See my above comment in that if you tempt fate and one of irreversible codes gets thrown...you'll be replacing the part for sure!
Obviously I hope that doesn't happen to anyone but the bypass is cheap insurance (the relay version at least) that the issue won't devolve further.
