It varies on centos/redhat type systems and debian based systems.

Redhat/Centos.
You edit the config files normally under /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, the main config file you can see includes a modules directory, which pulls in specific modules, the separate directory was created to keep the main config file streamlined. To install it normally a case of commenting out the entry or removing the module, usually removing the module removes the relevant module files too.

# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
Include conf.modules.d/*.conf

Debian based Linux.
You can use the perl scripts.

$ sudo a2dismod proxy
