Default abs and power steering relocation ?

hey im in the process of doing a wire tuck on the tc and need to get some info on a few things before i go further, I am gonna be removing the motor so working around the engine bay will be easier, does anyone know if it will affect the abs unit if i relocate it somewere else by changing the length of the hard lines ? i was thinking bout relocating to inside the dash, I am aware that i would have to fab up new lines witch is not an issue just trying to get the abs part straight before i go and mess it up, also with the power steering resorvoir does it have to be up at a certain height for the fluid to flow freely or is it pushed through the system were relocating it and using new ps lines will not be an issue, if anyone can chime in on this i would trully appreciate it. thanks guys.

I believe yellow has done this. I'm not sure if he touched the abs. I don't think he wanted to mess with them or else something wouldn't work out.

Yes, if you move the ABS system it will affect the working of the system. There are ways to make it work. Something about routing of brake lines.

I guess I could always try and relocate it through the inside and try and stick to as close a length as possible with the same amount of bends, witch will be tricky imma try and give a few dealerships a call and see what they say about it or if i can find my way to the automotive part of the school i could grab an instructor.

the length should not matter, as long as the pressure is the same
