Default Removing ABS system

Hey guys, while i'm doing my LT's and a few other odds n ends to my car, I've been wanting to remove any unnecessary items that won't affect exterior or interior looks but under the hood I want to clean up a lot to save a little weight. So far I've removed the AIR system, oil cooler and EGR stuff.

I've been thinking since my ABS doesn't function right (ABS INOP) I just want to eliminate it.

What all has to be done to remove this but retain intown/highway safety yet?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

That kit will also work w/out a linelock if you'd prefer not to have one.

Haha to be honest, I made this thread because I saw that pic of under the hood of your car and noticed you had it deleted so it sparked my interest!

93's should all be 3-channel ABS which means 2 sensors on the front wheels and 1 for the rear axle. I want to say 95 or 96 on up have 4-channel which has 2 sensors for the rear wheels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you unplug the EBCM under the dash and splice into the light green/dark blue/tan/ and white wires and ground them all..the lights will turn off..

I read it on Cz28.com and got the info from there, I to plan on doing this on my camaro with the smj kit. I never was a fan of lights being lit on my dash either but this is a simple fix and on less light to look at.

No Traction control=3 channel
Traction control=4 channel
