Some years ago I swapped out the D35 with ABS for a C8.25 on my ‘99 XJ. As I recall, I just cut the wires to the wheel sensors and removed a fuse (and maybe a relay) to disable the ABS dash warning light. Now, if feasible, I’d like to get rid of the ABS module under the hood to free up space and increase air flow around the engine. I’ve searched, but cannot find a write-up on how best to do it. Would I have to replace all brake hard lines? Or is there an easier way, such as by connecting the master cylinder to the existing lines that presently feed out from the ABS module to the wheels? If so, can I use soft lines to make the connections? Or can I bend the existing lines to mount directly to the MC instead of to the ABS module? If anybody has done this before (and I assume plenty of folks have), any advice and photos would be appreciated.
