Yep you can do that, and probably the cleanest method if you're not going to put the original sticks back in.

If you want the option to reinstall the original sticks, then just hook up 1 of the ground wires and put insulating tape over the other connectors.

Assuming you have .187 female quick disconnects connected up at the stock joysticks, you can get .187 male qd's and crimp them on the leads for the sanwa wires. Then connect male sanwa to female cab wiring, and like dj_johnnyg said, safe off the unused grounds. Less destruction this way. .187 male qd's can be found on ebay in bulk. Be sure to get the red ones/suitable for 22ga ones.
