Default 1987 ABS Issues/Can anyone help

I have a 1987 that is experiencing a brake issue. It pulls to the right when the brakes are applied. All of thecalipers have been replaced and none of the pistons are stuck, so I know it is not the calipers causing the issue. I took the car to the shop and they claim it is the hydrollics in the ABS system, and that I need a new hydrollic unit. Is there anyway I can disconnect the ABS system to see if the issue goes away? I just want to know for sure that this is the real cause of the pulling before I spend the money for the replacement part. I have already tried removing the fuse from the ABS system, but the brake issue is still there? Can anyone provide me with an idea?

Thanks,
Pat

You probably have a brake hose that is restricted. The one opposite the way the car pulls. Try that first since brake hoses are much cheaper than the ABS valve, if you can find one. [8D]
