eliminating the lspv

mine is on a 94 v6 runner.sky mfg says its quite involved on the v6.lines go up to a box that he says keeps the steering straight in a panic stop.there are also power steering lines going into this box.they said i really need a completye setup from a 4 cyl rig????? is it really this involved to eliminate it?
i have had it secured in one position for over a yr now so its not even functional.

Is it leaking? why do you want to remove it. I cut my load sensing arm and just positioned it in a way that worked well. Then it started leaking. I couldnt find another good one in a junkyard, so I just put a union t in its place. works fine. Yes yes, it "could" make the rears lock up in the rain. but my drums CANNOT lock up my 120lbs wheel tire combo...

If you want to do it right. just remove the abs unit on the pass frame rail. then just run the rear line directly to the union t in the back. spend 50$ on a manual proportioning valve from summit and install it at the master.

ok i think ive gathered enough info to do this.im gonna use a wilwood man prop valve.the only thing im still a bit confused on is that most of the writeups ive seen were without abs brakes.i have this but its doesnt really work since i replaced my 3rd member in the rear.im not at all concerned about keeping the abs at all im just wondering if i can still just plug the return line up front and plumb in the manual valve on the feed line in the rear.or will i have to remove the whole abs box itself?

what can we do about that thing that the steering lines and brake lines go into up front? it takes up so much room, I want to clean out as much of the engine bay as I can.

You dont have to remove it, you can do what you have posted.

Take it out and run the PS pump directly to the steering box and run the brake line directly to the rear.

i thought (from reading on other forums about it)that i might be able to get a higher pedal without it.my pedal has always been low even though im sure ive got all of the air out.ive bled about a gallon thru thru-out the years and have always had a low pedal.with the eng off the pedal pumps right up to the top hard as a rock but once started and the booster comes in it goes right down.

Mine does the same thing. Mine is still in the truck though im not sure if its disconnected...Ill have to check.

If I would have thought of it during my motor swap I would have pulled it. I can still pull it but its low on my priority list. I suggest pulling it.
