1LS ABS/TRAC delete
So my TRAC system is being rather finicky and frankly I could care less you have it in the vehicle. I'm shortly going to begin a 5spd swap on my LS to turn it into a mild drift car. The idea of retaining ABS would be nice since I can just pull the fuse/relay for events and put it back in to drive home, but upon doing some research I've learned that the systems are interconnected with each other, so my question to you guys is this.
Can I remove the TRAC module and lines, yet keep the ABS accumulator installed and the system functioning properly?
Should I even keep ABS? I won't really be driving this car unless its to a drift event, to some car shows, or in the summer during nice weather. Never really had a vehicle without ABS so I have no idea what the threshold is before the tires lock.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry didn't know there were any differences in the first gens. Car is a '92. Excellent. So I can ditch all the TRAC related stuff then? Also is that pressurized nitrogren cylinder next to the brake booster part of the TRAC system?

That is part of the TRAC. I think it's called the pump and accumulator.
On TRAC equipped cars I thought the ABS actuator(? I forget what the part is called) is split into two parts where one controls the front brakes and the other controls the rear brakes. And the part that controls the rear brakes is part of TRAC, not ABS. The pump and actuator have a line going to and from this rear piece of the ABS.
I removed ABS and TRAC on mine. I have to try if I want to lock the brakes.
