Follow them from the firewall where they connect to the lines attached to the k-member. This is under the hood, on the driver side, down near the k member.

if your just dropping to the K member all you need to do is disconnect the Brake lines from the ABS module on the driver side of the engine bay pretty easy...

No it will not mess it up, you just need to bleed the system. You have to disconnect them from the ABS module.

^^ they are correct it will not mess the abs block up i have dropped the k member out of ls1, lt1, and 6 cylinder 4th gens, and have always disconnected it from the abs block. And you didnt have to disconnect the power steering lines, you could have just sit the reservoir on the motor and drop the k member

I just left the a-arms and brakes on the car when I put in my k-member. Not sure if you could do that if your dropping the motor though?

I did that once and it's honestly a lot more work to disconnect the a-arms. Much less time consuming when you drop it all and remove the brake lines.

thats right, it can be done. but i found it a bit easier to keep the
ABS out of the way. all u have is two bolts for the MS and i guess one bolt for the ABS bracket and the whole thing comes out
