Ive taken my car apart and it wasnt running the belts on it so i'm assuming it didnt have abs. What needs to be done to get rid of it as it is just extra clutter and i've never had abs before and am not deserate for it now
Basically you need to renew all the pipe work ideally have a car with non abs system and take all the steel brake pipes, master cylinder and bias valves from it. Then strip the pipes from yours, the bias valves that will be fitted near fuel tank and the remaining items that bolt to the gear box cant remember the name. Once bled out the pedal should feel a lot better than with abs.
You don't have to renew the pipes, if you want to retain the rear load valves then you can simply remove the ABS modulators and get some copper pipes to patch up in-between the steel ones. (and then u also can retain your master cylinder)
If you want to get shot of the rear valves and have fixed rate ones in the engine bay then new pipes may be easier. If you decide to change the master cylinder make sure it is the same/bigger size as yours!!!!!!
