Very long, very complicated answer shortened, no, power vs manual has no effect. Getting an ABS system installed, and working is VERY hard. Im certain I could do it, but it would be extremely expensive. You'd be way better off just investing in good quality brake system and ditching that monoblock garbage everyone runs. Ive got a guy that will take your car and build a set of custom pads, rotors, and calipers tuned exactly to your car, and would only be a fraction of the price of ABS at about $10,000 or so.
