You cannot just bypass it. Because it directly tells the engine computer how much ethanol vs gasoline percentage you are using. That directly determines what fuel ratio the computer tells the injectors. Their are replicators sold on the market for around $150 that mimic the signal to the computer that tell it your using gas only. This eliminates your ability to run E85 but everything else should be the same. You can leave the flex fuel sensor inline with the fuel system as it does nothing to affect fuel delivery. Unless of course it is plugged up.
