Is there any harm in taking out the ABS fuse?

There are 3 fuses referenced to the ABS in the manual for a 2001 1.8T.
Fuse 7 - Anti-lock brake (ABS)
Fuse 16 - Anti-lock brake system (ABS) and Anti-slip Regulation (ASR)
Fuse 41 - Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Do I need to pull all three of these?
Anything else I should look out for? Will it throw and codes after I put them back in?
2001.5 A4 1.8T

Kind of a long story....
I just had some Koni Coilovers installed and ever since then when I am braking and get to about 1-2 MPH the ABS kicks in. All other braking is fine. At first I thought it was rubbing issues, but that is not the case. So now I want to take out the fuse to disable the ABS to verify that this is the problem. If it is, I bet when they were putting everything back together from the Koni install that the sensor wasn't seated properly or is dirty.
I know there are other who dislike have the ABS all the time, especially on the track and winter. I think they feel that they are in more control, but you'd have to ask them
