Default abs delete: pros, cons, and how to?

So im working on my 4door ex project and I started tucking the harness today. I noticed that one plug from the driver side which was orange ran all the way down the spindle and plugged right in to the hub. My brother told me it was the abs. I'm considering deleting it and simplifying everything. But im wondering. What will i lose? What will i gain? Offer your advice and opinions from all points and views.
Also, can anyone point me in the direction of the proper way to delete it? The car will be a dsily, maybe see some occasional races and occasional autox action.

you have hardlines going to the master cylinder from the abs modulator

if you get rid of abs i'm assuming you'd have to plug those lines or buy a non-abs MC

What about wiring? Module? Rerouting or deleting the hardlines themselves?

You'll need to plug the lines on the m/c and run all new hardlines. After that the abs modulator, wiring for it and abs computer can go.

I have a couple bad wheel sensors so I just pulled the abs light, abs computer and fuses. I'll run new lines and pull the rest out when I have a little more money.

Note: My car never sees snow or bad rain storms, and my modulator seems to leak a bit but only when abs engages -- so screw it.

I found a write up on team integra that gives the whole step by step. It also involves changing the booster, MC, and prop valve since the ABS module controls the distribution of the brake fluid to the individual corners.
