Are you asking to actually remove the entire ABS system, or
just the hydraulic booster system?

There’s been a well documented process to retrofit the
system to use a vacuum brake booster.

Eliminating the entire ABS system would be much more
involved, but with a good front/rear disk master cylinder,
brake proportioning valve, a bunch of hydraulic tubing and
fittings, would not be that difficult a job.–

You can ‘eliminate’ the ABS simply by unplugging it, either at the
control box itself – mounted behind the carpet on the left side of
the trunk – or by pulling the relay. With power off to the unit,
it ceases functioning.–

As you headed your query ‘‘Brakes’’ I will assume you wish to remove
the the booster and go to vacume, you will still have your ABS
system. Contact me and I will give you the details regarding the
change which takes about 4 hours and $250.00 us. John.–

Does this get any warning lights on the dashboard? Pulling ABS
fuse will light up circuit failure symbol.–
