Looking at dropping my d35 for an 8.25. Is there a way to remove the ABS pump and setup without replacing all the hard lines? all on a 96

yeah but I want to make room for something else. Unless a 99 8.25 has a compatible setup for abs. Then I might just rig up a switch to disable it while off road.
You should do the d44 abs conversion that fyrfytr did!

The closest you'll get on that (if memory serves) is an 8.25 from an ABSed KJ - my recollection is that that's the only one to have two tone rings on the axle shafts rather than one on the driveshaft. However, I can't remember if the tooth count and spacing on the rings would be compatible with those on the D35, and you'd have to deal with all of the spring perch issues. Could be useful for gaining rear discs, but I digress.
What are you planning on putting in the spot where the ABS master cylinder is now? You'll definitely gain some space by replacing it with a regular master cylinder, but it doesn't seem like very usable space.
f I remember correctly there was machining involved to make the D35 tone rings fit the 8.25 axle.
Go get the non ABS master cylinder and proportioning valve, remove ABS pump, re route lines to new master cylinder. Have a Jeep that doesn't have ABS, just like it came from the factory. There's no reason to re engineer this, it's all bolt in stuff from the parts store.
You might want to go to the junkyard and pick up an old one for mockup and core charges, and while I have run junkyard calipers (my 8.8 calipers are still junkyard and rocking out after 3 years) I would not trust my life to a junkyard master cylinder.
As it was I ran the junkyard calipers/pads/discs for a while, until the Jeep sat for a long time and the internal parking brake rusted. That left me with this:
fun times cutting the rotor hat and collapsing e-brake pads with my air impact all the way round.
but yes, use some sense regarding junkyard brake components. If you didn't see them come out and watched good fluid come out with it then do not use it. Even if it did it might be bad, brakes are important mmmmkay.
