4th Gen Rear Brake Swap

I have drum on the rear of my car and I hate drum. For everything, maintenance, quality, looks, I just dont like them at all. I want to do a complete swap to disc. I found the right up on here and I'm pretty sure I can do it. I was at the junk yard and I found a 93-96 camaro with the breaks I want. The guy said he'd give me the entire rear end with brakes and everything for $150.

That seemed like a pretty good deal to me. My first thought was just swap rear end. Then I was like duh, I have the G92 package with a 5-speed so I have .345 gears. Should I pick it up anyways and just swap all the componnents over? Or should I swap rear ends and swap gears? What kind of problems would U run into if I did that? If I even consider swapping rear ends am I just causing more work for myself in the long run?

Is your current rear a 9 or 10 bolt? The brakes will install perfectly but you will need a 9 bolt compatible backing plate.

Nice ride, BTW.
