Here's my question:

How do you delete the trac pump? I have a 1jz, so I don't need it anymore.

I'm keeping the ABS, because the car's huge and don't want the wheels locking up.

I just see a brake line coming from the trac pump, and I'm scared that if I disconnect it, I won't have any brakes.

What lines do I have to disconnect/ cap off so I don't have any issues if i delete the trac pump?

Thanks,
-Freddy

lol, yeah. but luckly when I go to get the whole car repainted I will probably re do the whole thing and put it to the trunk or under the Dash, I still have plans for this Drag inspired design.

Still to Do:
Relocate Engine Wiring Harness
Remove Blower, A/C, Heater Core
Strip all Deleted Wireing
Remove Fuel Pump ECU and Wireing
Dill and Tap Power Steering with Fitting
Order New Power Steering Cooler
Order New Transmission Cooler
Removal all old Brake Lines and Measure for new SS ones.
Paint Master Cylinder
