Replacing AAS shocks with aftermarkets

Just wondering, when I order my new aftermarket shocks do I have to get a different part number because I have the AAS(auto adjust suspension)? Will the regular KYB's bolt in? If so, what do I do with the motors/actuators that are on top of the AAS shocks now? Sorry if this has been posted before,I did a search and my dumb-*** couldn't find anything.

Its' the same, just leave the motors/acutators off, and remove the control unit, its located near the rear passenger side tailight(under carpeting).

I replaced the AAS shocks/struts on my 86 GXL a number of years back with KYB's. Do what Aesop Rock said and you'll be good.

Is there any way you can hook the aas up to aftermarket shocks like adjustables?
