Going to remove LT1 brakes off a donor rear, what do i need to take?

Won't work without modification or without purchasing a kit from Ed Miller. More food for thought in the following FAQ:

i dont know, i got the 12" rears on my diff, because my old one went out and im chill with the people at pick n pull and they didnt charge me extra. those rears are beefy though, bigger the the stock fronts!

Those E-brake cables won't work, you're going to wait untill Ed starts selling the updated design cables.

So the e-brakes wont work? I took the e-brake handle and the cable that connects to the handle to the two cables comming off the calipers. If i use the whole e-brake assembly would i be able to get it to work?

Did that for my LS1 brakes. I have the entire e-brake assembly from handle to wheel, including all the brackets (the tunnel bracket too).

Works fine. This is the 4th gen tunnel bracket with 4th gen cables. You can see the remains of the old bracket and the cable guides still in place. I bolted it in place with the intention of welding it in later.
