It should be a direct bolt in. Literally 2 screws. You might consider keeping the switch though, as its a great way to switch between Timing/fuel maps with Tephramod. I removed my sprayer a long time ago but kept the switch for this purpose.

The picture you have there is from an 06 EVO IX SE interior, not an 05 EVO VIII. Same center console though.

Why would you want to remove the sprayers?

The cup holders are held on the center console by 4 screws. You can just switch the cup holder. I know because I got an SSL center console and it came with the hole in the cup holder portion so I just switched them.
