Override runlist does not work in my case as I'm trying automate it. However if I'm going to add config check for whyrun would it be possible to do it in my recipe something like 'not_if Chef::Config[why_run]'

You'd need to use the block form:

  not_if { Chef::Config[:why_run] }

Just a quick question, what is it about this recipe that makes you want to avoid it in why run mode?
