Default Replacing AB with non ABS 1990 XJ limited

Hey guys, new Jeep cherokee owner here needing some guidance. I bought my '90 xj limited a couple months ago. The other day my ABS system failed on me. My mechanic says it needs a new ABS pump motor. 450 for the part plus labor, or possibly 200 plus labor if found at the scrap yard. My question is, is it worth replacing the ABS motor, or should I attempt to swap it out with a non ABS system? I have no idea what that would take. I have only done very limited work on Cars myself, so this would more than likely be done by my mechanic. Specifically, what are all the parts I need if I replace it with a non ABS? And can I get them from just about any car or should I stick with jeep Cherokees? Could I get the parts i need from a grand cherokee, and does the year matter? I'm totally new to all this so I'd really appreciate any responses, thanks!
