I think I know what you mean by uncoupling the shutter but I'm not sure. And I'm probably telling you something you already know. If so forgive me.
Most of the single-use cameras are similar and usually all you have to do is remove the shutter "blade" (found in the lens assembly) and leave the film advance mechanism (which also cocks the shutter) alone. Tape makes the new shutter but you still have to press the shutter release in order to advance the film to the next frame. So in that sense I have not uncoupled the shutter from the film advance and indeed, have never tried to do so. I used to give workshops in altering and reloading single-use cameras. They make fine 35mm pinhole cameras. There is also a fellow somewhere on the web who converted disposable Kodaks to a pinhole camera with a "T" shutter. As I recall you pressed a rod to open and close the shutter. I asked him for details but he was busy or had forgotten or perhaps it was too complicated to explain to a lay-person.
