Default Rear brake disabling

So heres what I want to do. I have a 97 Accord Ex with ABS that ive turned into a derby car. After taking some significant hits and rear damage, I'm changing to run solid small fork lift tires on the rear of the car. In order for clearance I have to remove the rear brake assemblies. Now I still want to have brakes on the front of the car for when I'm just moving it around. The easy solution is to just cap off the rear brake lines but here is the kicker...the ABS unit on the front left corner of the car doesnt allow much clearance in that area with the power steering pump and I've had it get pushed in shredding my belts and even bending my power steering pump pulley....so what I'm wanting to do is remove the ABS system from the engine bay in its entirety and only have brakes on the front wheels. Can anyone point me in the right direction on the easiest way to do this.

and before anyone bashes me for turning this honda into a derby car, I got it for free with 350,000 miles on it, leaking fuel lines, no title, and the floor you can see thru in places...id rather enjoy the sport of the car than to just see it shipped to scrap when it still serves a purpose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pull all the hard lines, prop valve, and abs unit. Bend up two new hard lines, one for each front wheel. Run one from the front circuit of the master cylinder to one wheel and one from the rear circuit to the other front wheel. Done.
