There is an ABS MC swap How-To in the V6Z24.com suspension FAQ. That will tell yo how to plumb the MC. In addition to what you listed, you'll also need to either add to or swap the entire chassis wiring harness, swap the rear wheel bearings, and upgrade to 92+ front brakes (since the ABS proportioning is set up for them, and not the pre 92 brakes).

My question is why? The ABS system used in the 2nd gens is not the best, and typically has issues wth wiring and sensors. IMO, don't bother, since ABS sucks anyways.

i still have the 92 sunbird i am in the process of ripping it apart for parts because it has no title and has to be cut up before it goes to the junk yard and the abs system seemed more avatangious than stock . sorry for the spelling
