You need to remove all the the system as the pressure from m/cylinder is not regulated anymore and it will lock up very easily, just use a non servo m/cyl from another car, then remove abs system.

Am thinking of replacing the mastercylinder with twin mastercylinders and bias box looks like a good setup

Just remove any fuses, no need to take out masses of wire unless you want to, will not affect car anyway.
