Permanently removing rear ABS actuator?

Ok, I have driven about 8 years now without a rear ABS sensor and the ABS computer unplugged and now I'd like to get rid of this: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...42310107BVIARv so I can use that space for something much more fun (aquamist system). Mike @ ORS will make me a by-pass for the PS highpressure line, but what has to be done to by-pass the brake lines that go in and out of this thing?

One line runs to the brake MC http://community.webshots.com/photo/...42310107AdUDVi and the other goes to the rear LSPV.

Anyone done this or know how to do it?

I was going to do the same thing but never got around to it.
You should be able to connect the brake line from the m/c to the line going to the rear (or make a new line with no splice in it) and it's good. It works that way by default anyway, all the ABS stuff does is when it activates it interrupts the line pressure. Normally the ABS stuff does nothing, the brake pressure goes straight thru.
