I just did this and had no issues, I bench bled the master and replaced it, I capped the lines on t from the m/c and got away with no system bleed, you may want to momentarily crack the bleeders on the abs before removing the m/c but even that may not be an issue. If you drain the entire the system then the scanner is required to bleed the abs. Mine was a 97 but I believe they are the same. *** Looking at some tech info it seems your system is unitized as the m/c abs unit this will need a high line scanner to unload the gears before removal.
