My 1992 Civic VX definitely does not have anti-lock brakes.

If you're giving yourself sufficient distance to try and minimize braking though, they shouldn't be a significant factor, assuming someone doesn't cut you off and slam on their brakes.

I grew up driving classic VW's in AK without problems, honestly you just apply many of the same principals as you would to hypermiling. Allow 3-4x 'regular' summertime stopping distance if there is any concern of ice and follow other cars a safe distance to prevent concerns of panicked stops.
