Default removeing abs

I just swaped out a dana35 for a 8.25 along with extended brakelines. Then removed the abs wires that ran to the axle, is there anything else i need to remove? because i cant get a good brake pedal the first pump it goes to the floor then gets better then when you let it sit it goes to the floor again. I went through 3 big bottles of brake fluid bleeding them and also bought a new master cylinder and benchbled that! also the jeeps a 97 your help is very much appreciated!!!

hmmm don't know about your method. I took everything out that had to do with the ABS and swapped in a normal power break system from the same year XJ....

check all your conections in your break lines. you can remove the abs relay but your problem sounds like a leak in the lines.
