It is just as easy as disconnect all the connectors that are plugged to the ABS pump under the master cylinder, and plug the brake lines directly to the non-abs master cylinder (it has 3 openings, 1 for each front brakes and 1 for the rear ones).
You'll have a Antilock light always turned-on in the instrument cluster.. but that's all.

Please confirm that this conversion of ABS to non-ABS is that simple! Was your's a 1991 Regal? That year was a unique setup hydroboost master cylinder-pump combo, it was only put out in certain 1991 models. I have been letting my Gran Sport sit for 4 years because of the leaky ABS master cylinder-pump combo. $2900 new, nothing under $500 used. Even wrote an official complaint to GM - their answer was "out of warranty".
When pedal is pressed fluid runs out (strong drip) from back of master cylinder near one of the lines coming out. Hard to see, by firewall, but i was told the leak is not repairable. But i wonder truely is it? I also thought i was told the non-abs doesn't matchup / fit the same? Millennium whats the word? Can I use the same year and model , master cylinder non-abs, and it will mount up ok? Do lines going to ABS pump need to be capped after disconnecting?
