Default 96 Accord Brake question

Working on a 96 accord track car and was wondering if you could bypass the ABS system and run lines right off the master cylinder and which port for is for front and which is for the back?

You can bypass the ABS, however the system is diagonally split, not front/rear.
If you could locate a non ABS car and replace the spider maze of front lines, you would be able to save yourself some time in bending up lines.

You will want to keep your rear lines and the Proportional valve(disc) for your application. Rear drum cars use a different proportional valve which will not be ideal for your rear disc system.

501B is non ABS
500B is ABS

it's an ex with stock rear disc, I planned on running pre made braided lines, so I can't just tee the front fitting for the fronts and run a line from the back fitting to the back with a proportioning valve and tee it there?

If you were going to replumb the whole system, then it doesn't really matter.
I was suggesting the non ABS front lines as an easier way to simply replumb the front circuits without ABS, that's all.
ABS unit is a standalone divorced system and can be removed.

FWIW, I believe the Primary circuit is the RP/FD, and Secondary circuit is RD/FP.

Yeop, but if you can bring it somewhere to be rebuilt/reused that would be awesome. Might even get a few bucks as a 'core'.
Just don't unbolt the gold clyinder, it is under pressure. You can relieve it by slowly unscrewing the top bolt that has silicone on it.

I guess next question is do I need the speed sensors then? It's a manual so I would figure no because it's not needing them for the trans?

Just noting about the accumulator that's all.

The wheel speed sensors are for the ABS and will not affect the drivability of the car. Should be able to remove those orange connectors and wiring to remove some dead weight.

VSS mounted on the transmission differential is where the speedo gets its signal from.
