the proportioning valve will bolt up without a problem. It would be a safe bet to grab the prop vavle bracket and hard lines also, just so you know their won't be any fitment issues.

i'm in the process of doing this work myself, what needs to be modified on the back end of the car to get the brake lines routed?
