Parking Brake Delete, park witht he car in gear? Options

[VaccaRabite]

Okay, here is a question.

I was thknking about the parking brake today, as I continue to stip my car. In the other three manual vehicles that I have driven, none of them have ever had a workgin parking brake. When I got to where I was going, I'd put the car in gear against the slope when ever I parked. Also, my uncle - who has only ever driven manual cars - never uses his parking brake - he just leaves his car in gear.

So, would doing a parking brake delete be bad? Or, rather would leaving the 901 tranny in either 1st or reverse (depending on the slope while parked) be bad? Taking out the hand brake, cables, etc would shed a few pounds (not much, granted) and make it easier to get in and out of the car. and have one less thing to refresh when putting the car back together.

I searched "parking brake delete" and found nothing. So, whay says the rest of the community.

Oh, the other manual vehicles were an 1980's vintage S-10 pickup, 1943 universal carrier, and a 1942 Chevy C-15 truck.
