I have a Ford mini starter in my car, since it has the starter solenoid on the starter the original solenoid has become a junction block so to speak.

It seems like it would not take much effort to rewire the underhood area and make it disappear. It sure would look a lot better than having it hanging on the inner fender.

Do you think this is possible to do?

If you are going to show your car, that may be a mistake. If not showing, simply remove the starter relay and fill the holes. Lots of folks call them solenoids but they are relays.

Relay-A device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit.

Solenoid-An assembly used as a switch, consisting of a coil and a metal core free to slide along the coil axis under the influence of the magnetic field.

Seems relatively the same in this case to me...

I would say elimination!
