There isn't much else left to replace.
Those old hoses go bad inside. Sounds like yours might be messing with fluid flow in both directions.

If the proportioning valve was dirty/clogged as he described it to me, could that also mean the ABS module side of that is also fouled up?

Abs is still a mystery to me.

2 or 4 wheel abs? 2 wheel abs didn't work that great when it was new.......

I believe it is 2 wheel ABS, dug out my old paperwork, but its not marked like I thought it was.
Can you tell by looking at the pictures in my older thread, post #5 and 7?

Where did you get that paperwork? Also do you have wires going to the front wheels? If yes, 4 wheel if no then 2 wheel.

No wires by front wheels.
I have a bunch of stuff from the first owner, here's an old post of mine, follow the link for the 1997 dealer brochure taken with a better camera:

I don't think it's an abs problem. I would be tempted to replace the front pads, and at least get the rotors turned. If they are glazed, you get crappy brake performance. Pad compound makes a big difference as well. Make sure everything up there moves properly too.
