Pretty sure it would be an MOT fail

You would need to remove all traces of the system, abs unit, sensors & abs light on the dash.

Loads of motors running without abs some just to tidy the engine bay up others for track related things
As above remove the pump/unit rework the brake lines make sure bulb removed
Don't think there any actual test for abs bar the light not being on, brake test just for efficency

Disks and rear drums should do the biased job you won't really know till you try it. You can get biased valves pretty cheap but again till you try or get it on a mot brake test you won't know how far out you are. Personally I wouldn't bother deleting it you won't really gain much

Easy enough to de ABS a truck, I done mine. New pipes to be made in copper and use T pieces to split the lines. I would also add a bias valve in the car to aid balance,
Remove the light from dash and remove the sensors and plug the holes, sorted.

can you just pull the connector off the unit if you want to disable the abs when off road

probably never tried the problem is also later when mud or crap has pushed the sensor out and filled up the rings

It's easy enough to pipe up, very simple in fact, just need some pipe, nuts, flare tool, 2 t pieces and a bias valve,
