4th gen rear swap...

Since the search hasn't worked for me all day...I've got an '87 TA with a drum rear, and a disc brake rear end from a 99 Firebird. What kinda funky stuff am I going to run into? E-Brake cables gonna work (I've got the one from the '99 still with the rear), master cylinder, prop valve, etc? I want to get all the parts together that I'm going to need before it happens, so my down time is as short as possible.Thanks!

I've done the swap with a 94 4th gen rear and the only thing that is different is the rubber soft line that connects the rear brakes to the rest of the car and the e brake cables. I had to use the T connector that was on the car origianally and screw the hardlines on the new rear end to the old T connector. The fittings are different on the old and new T connector for the rear brakes. I still have not hooked up the e brake cables but all that needs to be done is to lengthen the cable already on the car to go further back to meet the new 4th gen cables.
