Default 1990 ABS delete/service

I recently bought my first car and corvette a 1990 black on black convertible. Since buying the car I've had sub par brakes and over the last 2 years I've replaced everything (with new oem parts) with the exception of the ABS system and the hard brake lines. My most recent issue is my front brake calipers not clamping at all. I had driven almost 3 months and the rear pads were completely consumed while the front pads were untouched. Having exhausted all my other options I feel as if my abs system is causing this issue.

Having little to no luck finding a new unit or rebuild kits/instruction I'm leaning towards removing the system all together. My intention is to keep the car for as long as possible and as close to factory spec as possible. I've read through alot of older post and wanted to see if there's some new information or resources.

That said does anyone have resources pertaining to this module?

From my research I haven't been able to find delete kits is that something that exists?

What kind of work is involved in replacing my 1990 lines with older lines that don't have ABS?

Do I need a Tech 2 tool to manually bleed my ABS? Can OBD2 work?

Thanks for taking the time
