If you're talking about the linkage from the transmission to the steering column inside the engine compartment, then that is necessary equipment. Even with a floor shifter, the linkage from the transmission to the column rotates the column for the backup tail lights to come on. I don't remember if it is tied to the neutral safety switch or not, but the linkage between the trans and column is needed for the reverse lights to function properly.
