Default Fan switch question

I wanted to install a manual fan switch on my '84 gpz900. I have done some research and for what I understand, I need to put a switch that connects the 110 sensor to ground when I want to fan to come on.

At the same time I was thinking, everybody is putting the switch on because in traffic the bike will overheat and the bike will overheat because the 110 sensor really kicks in too late, meaning that the 110 temperature is too high.

So we put a switch that allows up to manually switch the fan on. At the same time, the bike has another sensor at 97 which would be the temperature you would take the bike with a manual switch anyway.

So, I understand that if the oil switch is broken or disconnected, that will tell the bike to ignore the 110 switch and only use the 97 switch even with the ignition on.

So, why don't I simply disconnect the oil sensor so the bike will not overheat period? Any problems in doing that?

From my research, there are pictures on gpz zone on how to install and connect the switch, can somebody post them so I can see it? I wanted to do this today so I am done with it and I can enjoy the bike not having to worry about the temperature.

Thanks a lot...
