The DSC button only disables DSC, not ABS.
Pretty sure you can just disconnect the harness connector from the ABS unit in the engine bay, but am not entirely sure if there might be any other issue other than the dash ABS light being on by doing it that way rather than snipping a wire or two. Looking into it more ....
edit: there's a dedicated 60 amp ABS/DSC power supply fuse. You might try just pulling it out. It should be Fuse No. 12 in the main engine bay fuse box. The brake system should work as a standard ABS-less brake system when not powered or controlled by the PCM.

I looked into ABS delete when I was doing my swap. I was going to use a proportioning valve from a non abs NC Niata PN# NF47-43-900. I ended up keeping ABS by using a base model abs only non-dsc unit because the speedometer gets its signal through the ABS unit. If you're doing this in a dedicated track car and firmly against ABS I'd go with the NC valve. If it's a street car you should be able to pull the abs/dsc fuse/fuses when you're at the track, though I'm not sure how that plays with the EPS since it's speed referenced.
