Default Manual Brake Help

It looks like I'm going the manual brake direction and I could use some suggestions to make the transformation as easy as possible. I'm dreading having to do anything with the pedal. I hate climbing under the dashboard and messing with brake pedals. Does anyone have any suggestions on particular manufacturers or kits ? Maybe a parts list ? A how to thread ? What NOT to do ? Does the ABS box get deleted?

I was kinda hoping to just switch masters, bleed then be done.

Any help or suggestions would be great ..

I talked to the guys at strange engineering today and the engineers are looking into the braking system to try to configure a brake booster combination that will apply enough force to get my car to stop properly. I used a gauge to check the pressure in the system and its at 750 pounds. The tech said it should be ideally between 1000-1200 in the rear.
