Question Swapped rear ends... need help with TCS and ABS

My friend and I just swapped rear ends. My car has traction control so it had two sensors on the rear end, his just had one sensor. Is there any way to rewire these so that the ABS will still work on both cars? Also, what all do I have to take out to completely get rid of the Traction Control System? Thanks...

For the traction control equiped car the only thing you need to do is swap in the axles it originally had so you still have tone rings.

For the non traction controlled car you will need to bore out a hole on the top of the differential and get a tone ring installed on the pinion gear. The tone ring is about 20 bucks from SLP but the installation is gonna cost you.

I did that very swap and didn't realize i had a trac controled rear end till i had mine apart. I bored the hole in the differential (kinda half assed it's a tiny bit off center hopefully it'll work). So now in the future if i want to restore my ABS i just have to get a tone ring installed on the ring gear and hope the ABS sensor is lined up well enough. I'm happy without ABS for now since i only drive aggressively when its dry and i'm used to driving trucks and stuff in the snow without abs. I kept the axles with tone rings as spares, they'll work but just have that extra piece on them.
