Default Questions regarding ABS delete block.

First off, if I was to buy this, will it save me from having to do any re-routing, plumbing, etc.? I was thinking of just re-routing everything using hydraulic compression fittings, new line, (ditching the pre-bent) etc., but then as I was thinking about it, I really didnt want to cut up the lines. Then I read that you had to do something to seperate the rear line pressure from the front for some reason, I dont remember. Anyhow, Ive decided that I dont mind buying this product if I can just screw the fittings in and be done with it. (Besides bleeding the brakes.) Does this block seperate the pressure between the front and the back? Lastly, is there any other company besides Billngsley that sells this product? Thanks. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get as much info on this as I can.

I'm using the Billingsley ABS delete block and it works great. It doesn't save alot of weight (~4 lbs), but it does clean up the engine bay quite a bit.

I also am using his set-up. Works great. I converted to manual brakes at the same time and didnt have to run any kind of porpotioning (sp?) valve. Not sure on the factory stuff. I'm sure Jay will steer you the right way.

I thought that it saved more weight than that. I wanted to do away with the big bracket that held the original ABS block because that would clean up the bay even more and take more weight off as well. I see that the delete block only weighs 1.5 pounds, do you think that it would be ok to not use the bracket and let it be supported by the lines? If not, I was thinking of just making some kind of bracket, one in which is lighter and isnt so big. Any chance you could post some pics? Thanks. By the way, is this block a bolt up and go product? (besides bleeding)
