Default Removing TCS but keeping ABS and CC?

I like ABS and cruise control but dislike TCS mainly because of the module and extra cables under the hood. So, is it possible to remove TCS but keep the other 2 fully functional? I would imagine it is possible since TCS was only an option and a car was able to have just ABS and cruise. But what is required (if it is possible) to make it work?

So a quick run down:

1. Pull the TCS module and cables
2. Buy new non-TCS throttle & CC cables
3. Buy a non-TCS ABS computer
4. Order a 3 channel 9"

That about do it?

That's is quite a bit of money you're going to spend just to retain ABS?? I'd suggest considering removing ABS as well. If you're not aware of our ABS delete kits, you'd be able to remove all the clutter from the engine bay including all brackets (ABS and TCS).

Purchase the rear without ABS, it will be less expensive. Normal braking will not be any different. You'll also have the ability to tune your brake bias since our kits have an adjustable proportioning valve.

The only cables you'll need so you can remove TCS are from your #2 parts list. They are relatively inexpensive.

Free!

Do what i did and others did. I un pluged my TCS/ASR and relocated it behind my comuter hides al lcables under cowl! I still have ABS and cruise control and TCS stays off if you want to keep it you will need to add wires to the plug and plug it back up

If you unplugged it, why didn't you just remove it instead of stuffing it behind the PCM?
