Default Abs system blocking booster

I was able to get the master cylinder out and the bolts to the booster out but the abs system is blocking it from coming out... Can I just unbolt the system and move it or do I need to take each brake line out?

it's a 2000 Chevy blazer 4wd

I didn't have to break any of the lines. It was tight but I was finally able to maneuver the boost out. Putting it back in was just as much of a PITA.

u just watched a video of a guy saying he had to buy a tool to allow the ads system to open and close to be able to bleed the brakes... Is this true? Or can I just get it all back together and bleed normally?

If you have air in the ABS pump, it needs to be bled with a scanner.

so I'm assuming since I disconnected to brake lines from the abs there is air in the system? Is it hard to get a hold of a scanner and bleed the abs? Or maybe just be easier to get it towed to a shop to bleed it all?

Try bleeding it first. If the pedal feels good, you're probably fine. If not, most decent shops will probably have what they need to do it. It's only like a five minute procedure. Unfortunately, most cheap scanners (and most of the ones you can borrow from auto parts stores) don't have that capability.
