Just curious if anyone has ever removed their abs unit. Mine doesn't work so keeping it is pointless. Will it change the pedal feel? Will it affect the front and rear split on the brakes?

No and no. Although fixing it probably wouldn't be hard (finding an ABS computer or another ABS block would be easy and cheap)

You could either remove the ABS block in the engine bay and buy new lines from Toyota which will run from near the brake master cylinder along the firewall to where the ABS module is, OR remove the block and buy tiny 6" long brake lines from Napa or wherever, reuse the existing lines, and splice them together where the ABS module used to be.

The lines actually go to a small junction block a bit below the master cylinder but yeah its close.

I'd contact Toyota and see if they have the brake lines for a non-abs car in stock, bending your own and getting the length just right is a pain.
