Why would you want to? ABS greatly improved braking performance, safety and handling.

But, if you really want to get rid of it, all you have to do is kill power to the ABS computer or unplug your sensors. When the ABS system fails, you have normal power brakes.

But again, why would you want this?

If you want to completely remove them, then you are looking at having to replace almost everything between the brake pedal and the brake lines. The best solution would be to look for an aftermarket master cylinder and vacuum booster. Then you will probably want some new calipers and rotors that will work better than stock.

Overall, it probably won't be a cheap project. And for my money, it isn't a good idea to remove something that only improves safety and handling. But it is your ride.....

If you want to lighten up the front and make the engine bay look better, get a manual rack and remove all power steering. That is safer than removing your ABS. Also, you could try to wire tuck everything to make it look clean. I'm trying to do that but it's tougher than it sounds.

Another idea is battery relocation. There are kits where it moves the battery to the back in the passenger quarter panel. There are a couple different options instead of just removing a big safety feature in your car.
