Do I need to have an ebrake??

I have a rear out of a 90 z28. It has the 12" discs and pbr calipers. Well when swapping i noticed the cables won't work. So can I remove the cables and all of the parts that hold the cable and the brakes and will still work and adjust properly??
THanks,
Mark

A is always a good idea. The part number that you need is in the following link:

Ok thanks but I read it and that post also says that the cables are discontinued. All I really want to know here is: does the e brake adjust these calipers at all??

I provide the CarQuest part number for the cables in the link (the OEM are discontinued). The e-brake does not adjust PBR's.
