I assume you left the oil tank in place under the cowl (?). If so, simply disconnect the oil sensor (two wires with bullet connectors at the base of the oil resevoir).

No, but if it's going off with the oil sensor disconnected it sounds like you have a bad alarm.

You getting a steady beep or intermittent??

Check the leads going to the alarm itself (what was left when you disconnected the tank).

Those should be isolated from each other, and make sure the covering is intact.

One of those may simply be grounding to the block which would complete the circuit making the alarm "think" that you are out of oil...
