Is total abs delete necessary?

Say I got a rearend without abs sensors.
Can i still just bolt up the brakes and go? (obviously abs won't work)
Eventually i will get a delete unit but I want to just do the rear now.

Your brakes will be fine sans the sensors. ABS just won't kick in and you'll trip the ABS light on your cluster.

^^He's right. You will likely get a couple of lights come on.

Mine was acting weird after a rear end swap so I pulled the wires going to the front sensors (unplugs at both ends) to keep the front brakes from going anti-lock at random times.
