Question Install ABS?

Sorry if this post isn't gold standard quality as I am brand new to posting on the forum, but have been using it for ages.

I've been working on "restoring" a 93 after having rebuilt twin turbos blowup on the previous owner. He didn't want to deal with it so I bought it for super cheap. Only thing is, when I received the car it didn't have ABS installed and all that I received from the seller for the ABS system was the (what I believe to be) original ABS module. I don't have the original lines that run to it, instead, have custom lines that were made for a Wilwood brake proportioning valve which was installed by the previous owner. I don't even know if it still has the computer in the hatch. I've read a whole bunch of ABS-related posts on here talking about how, even though the stock ABS module isn't the best comparing it to today's standards, it's still better than not having ABS at all. This car is going to be mostly on the street, and I was wondering if even though all I have is a stock ABS module (that I'm going to assume is good and not faulty), is it worth going through the trouble and cost of buying everything needed to put ABS back into the car? And if there are other ideas on how to approach the situation I'd love to hear them.

Thank guys

leave it out and just stay out of situations in which it would be required. all the time and effort to reinstall it and BLEED it, just to delete it later for something else..... no... leave it out

and i'm not just saying that because we sell a kit. there is some discussion of keep vs delete in our thread though.
