new lines, finding a proportioning valve etc, maybe a little easier on a 5th to remove it but on a 4th its easier with the engine out !

non abs prop valve. make new lines. take abs bulb out.
remove all other abs related stuff. you will probably have to leave alot of the wiring in as i think its run in with the main car loom
