Any reason for removal ? Is it a road car ? Pretty sure it's illegal to remove abs and airbags from cars if they came factory that way .

Otherwise look into buying some brake lines from a pov pack which didn't have abs ?

Pretty stupid wanting to remove abs from your soarer,unless its a track car. & yes it's illegal, and would make your car unroadworthy.

I recently did a defensive driving course, and seeing first hand the difference between abs and no abs is just insane.

it may have to be engineered, but i can't see any reason why you can't delete ABS if the same car also comes from factory without it.
People remove the ABS unit and then have hoses made to join those pipes together(in the correct manner ,obviously).
Or Do as Daniel says...
If you do it like Daniel says, no one will ever know the car was a factory ABS car, so you could get way with not certifying it.But make sure you get it working very well, for your own safety and for others too!

I'd imagine pulling out the ABS fuses in the engine bay would disable it, would put a light on in the dash though.

You will need a non ABS master cylinder and the non ABS brake lines, from master to wheel.

Remove the ABS master and ABS unit and all the brake lines, then fit the non ABS master and the brake lines. Bleed brakes properly, competently and carefully as per the soarer service manual. (fine print so you don't sue me if you cock it up)

You may as well remove the abs ecu's to save some more weight and stop the error messages.

Retain the wheel speed sensors as they will be useful for datalogging or aftermarket TRC.
