If all you are looking to do is remove the headlight, yes, you can just unplug it without any issues. If you want to plug the hole you can just use a piece of flexible plastic cut to size. Notch it to fit around the upper posts and then use a small bolt through the headlight adjuster hole to keep it in. I take my sons out if he is going to the track and plug the hole to keep rocks from hitting wires and the head tube http://www.crfsonly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37068&highlight=

For the smog, depending on what you have available to you material wise, you can make a block off kit. I cut the cylinder head hole cover out of piece of 3/16" billet aluminum that I had laying around. Drilled a hole (well, drilled the hole then cut the part) for the bolt, and then cut a gasket out of a Mr. Gasket Chevy header gasket. The remaining caps and plugs can be from anything that fills the hole.
