ABS delete?

I looked over the system, master cylinder has four connections, one of which 
is plugged.  There is a separate pressure regulator (a cylinder looking like 
another master, but free-standing) and the big square ABS controller.  Brake 
lines go back and forth between the latter two and it's hard to figure out 
which line does what.  I guess I should delete the ABS controller and 
pressure regulator, then connect three lines directly to the master 
cylinder:  two for the two front brakes, one for both rear brakes - there is 
a split connector under the rear seat.    Does this make sense?
Thanks.

Radek.
