How hard is a complete brake swap?

Ok well I got a complete brake system from a 89' non/abs at the local yard. It was kind of a pain to get off since the car wasn't on wheels but we managed. My question is will I have to drop the rear suspension/subframe to get the hard brake line over the rear diff and axles. The car in the yard had the rear subframe dropped. I dunno how hard this will be with just jack stands. Anybody ever swap the lines out?

Why don't you just bypass the ABS and remove it?

http://www.mazdatrix.com sells a kit. I honestly think using junkyard parts isn't worth it when it comes to brakes.
