Is it useless now?
should I remove it?
I was really hoping that would solve my electric choke not opening when the engine is warm, problem.
it’s a project. Lol...
your electric choke needs live power to open. if you make it switched ignition(as well as run like olds stated) then your electric choke, if functional and adjustment is right, is going to open. If its warm out, it may not be closed fully. or will open quicker idk. either way, to do factory requires some components you may not have and some wiring to be done.
if you want to "just" make it work, I personally did a tap connection off the power feed to the wipers. easy to find. but i have the old vacuum junky wipers, im not sure what you have. just needs ignition on power. you could use a fuse tap for the wipers and run that way to not draw down the wiper circuit. If you dont wire it to key on, but to always on, you will drain your battery. You could do a switch on its own.. but dont forget it.
squares and most GM did this:

"Most used an oil pressure switch in the power line to the choke. This way, the choke doesn't start to heat up until the engine is running and there is oil pressure. On my 62 F-85, I ran a fused wire (20 A fuse) from the BATT terminal on the alternator to the switch, and from the switch to the choke. Very simple to wire and very clean. I like to use the Standard P/N PS64 switch. The middle terminal works the OIL light, the other two are a normally open switch that closes with oil pressure. Use these to control the choke. If you have an oil pressure gauge instead of a light, simply use a brass tee fitting to connect both this switch and your oil pressure sender."

i borrowed these explanations for these. this one coming is for the g body setup:
"The other way is to use a relay that is triggered by the field wire on the alternator (brown #1 wire on SI-family alternators, for example). The field wire is only hot when the alternator is turning. This is how GM wired the stock G-body cars with electric choke when the gauge package was installed. Of course the down side with that is that the choke will close if you break the alternator belt. "
