I plan on removing my ABS module. Am I going to need a combination valve from a non-ABS vehicle to run my lines through?

yes.. it prevents the wheels from locking and therefore losing traction. There is a higher coefficient of friction thus more stopping power when you have traction.

I realize some poeple may not agree with the idea but does anyone know if the combination valve is needed?

Just remove the ABS fuse. It would be an absolute waste to remove the system. ABS WILL help you stop faster. If for whatever reason, you are driving in a situation where you do not want the ABS to kick in, pull the fuse temporarily.
