Disabling the key transponder/immobilizer?

I just bought a '99 Pathy that only came with one key. This is kind of a beater truck and I'm not willing to pay the $80 each to get some key copies with transponders. Does anyone know how to disable the immobilizer? I know that people sometimes take the chip out of the key and glue it onto the steering column in a location that allows it to register to the immobilizer, but I'd prefer to do something a bit more thorough. I'm guessing that you could trick the immobilizer into thinking that the chip was present by jumpering some wires together in the ignition switch harness but I have no idea which ones.

Has anyone attempted anything like this? Any other good ideas or techniques out there?

Thanks.
