Adding 98-02 Camaro rear disc brakes to 12 Bolt

I will buy a Strange 12 Bolt, Strange 3:73 Gears and add 98-02 Camaro rear disc brakes w/12" rotor. Has anyone had a problem with this setup and can I expect a lot of modification to get everything to work with all the hacking of parts. I will bring my backing plate & caliper mounts to Strange next week so that they can build add them during the buildup.
Any advice on this setup will be very helpful.
Thanks: David
Here is the 98-02 brake I bought off ebay:

If you get the right flanges installed on the rear, then you should be fine. You'll have issues with the parking brake cables but otherwise you should be fine. Good luck.

What are the RIGHT flanges? Are you talking about the flange that welded on to the the axle?

Went to Strange Engineering website and found that they will accept 98-02 brakes:

Great, you found it...that's what I meant by the right flange, the one that will accept your brakes. I'll be looking into one of those Strange rears for my '70.

Good luck!
