No offense, but if you can't figure out how to unplug a sensor, you should immediately step back, close your hood, and don't dick around with anything on the car. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing, even if it if another rx7 owner across town.

If you just want to know how the car will run (or not, actually) without the TPS, then just unplug it and go for a drive. There's absolutely no need to remove it physically.
On s5 cars with the screw on the bottom of the TB, I never reinstall that one. It's not necessary and it makes the TPS swap a 15-20 minute job instead of the 3 minute job it should be.

I found it weird and counterintuitive that Mazda used hex head bolts on the two accessible fasteners and a Phillips on the bottom one.
Odd decision, that.
