Default Is removing ABS a simple job?

Hi
If my next car had ABS fitted. Would it be an easy task for some one to remove all traces of it. Or is it a time consuming fiddly job?

1. I drive in snow
2. It weighs alot
3. I would rather my right foot did the braking

thanks
Steve

Master cylinders are the same. Calipers are the same. So just a replumbing exercise between the two I would think.

You'd also need to disable the dash board warning lights for the ABS or it would fail MOT's. Taking out the control box may do this of course, not sure.

just pull the fuse and the light out of the dash , it won't work then and you won't have an annoying light on all the time, other than this you will neeed to fabricate pipework if you want to remove the hydraulic unit
