ABS delete?

[Keith Lloyd]

If you look up the layout of the pipe work for a non-abs quattro and replicate that i wouldn't have thought you could go wrong especially if you verify the part numbers of the cylinders and the pressure apportioning valve are correct/the same.

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?

Would it be a good idea, for the sake of creating more space under the hood, to get rid of the ABS unit entirely? If so, how should the brake lines be routed?  Would I need a new brake master cylinder?  I'm replacing all brake lines because of rust, BTW.
