the one thing u should remember with the std cossie break setup.... it will allow the use of antilag as it does not rely on vacuum assistance form the plennum( which there will be none with a normal servo/master cylinder setup if running als. the electric pump will be fine. you can disconnect the 5 ABS sensors, and the abs ECU (in the boot) and you will have "normal" assisted breaking.

As Dave says, its not worth removing completely as the pump system is VERY good indeed. Simply pulling the plug off the reservoir will disable the ABS feature but still leave you with full power brakes.
