ABS or not

Hi Matt
I am building a dedicated BA XR8 track car and have a question in regards to running ABS. The brakes I have settled on are the Harrop Ultimate fr 384mm / 6 piston Harrop, Rr 355mm and 4 piston Harrop. I have been advised to remove the ABS all together. Would you also advise this?
If so how would I run the brake lines, ie tee peice off the master cylinder for the brake lines?

To be honest it is up to the individual if they want to remove the ABS and maybe try the car with it first before deciding to remove it.I would ask if this size kit on the front will suffer any issues because i have seen some fords suffer from pad knock off when turning due to flexing in the front rotors/hats etc when that size of brakes are fitted on the front.
