ABS in the bin and cables go in chassis leg. Throttle cable is made longer/get a long one and route it so you can't see it.

Sod getting rid of the abs just for a bit of smoothness under the bonnet unless it isn't working properly. You would have to fit a load sensor on the rear brakes for a start if you do.
