Default Bypassing Del Sol ABS

I have a '95 Del Sol VTEC, and my ABS system is leaking fluid, to the point where it will soon become unsafe to drive. I am perfectly fine with disabling the ABS, because it's going to run me at least $1,200 to fix it, and it is not even necessary. My last car didn't have it, and I was fine. How hard is it going to be for me to remove all parts related to the ABS, and just make do without it? What kind of parts and materials will I need? And how much time am I looking at? I am only 17, so I do not know a whole lot about repairing cars. The most that I have done is changed my oil, rotated tires, changed an air filter, replaced a battery, and jump started. I would be more than willing to learn what I need to know, however, I need to know what all I will have to do!

No, it does not sound fun...but, I love my car, and I want it done as cheaply as possible! While still being good of course.

I think this job its gonna be to much for you

your gonna have problems of getting the threaded brake line ends out and probably gonna round a more than a few off unless you have or get a line wrench

then you gotta get it to the proportioning valve that saying its the same on your car if you have abs or not

go ahead and give it a try but have like 3days off in a row just in case it decides to go no


O and bleed the brakes good I used to be terrible at that until I had a lot of practice messing it up lol

What's leaking? The ABS box? Price a used one at a junkyard first because it may end up being cheaper than removing the ABS.

To remove the ABS properly you need the front brake lines, master cylinder and proportioning valve from a non ABS '94 - '97 Integra or '94 - '95 Del Sol VTEC ('92 - '95 Civic brake lines will work as well, but not the other items)
