89' Trans Am disk brakes on a 85' Firebird

I got a rear end off of a 89 trans am with disk brakes. Im going to install it on my 85' firebird. The new rear end doesnt have tha emergency brake lines what can i do there??? am i going to need a new brake lines, master cylinder?? they have the same brake like connection so im guessing it'll just work??

Bolt-in regardless of whether you have a 9- or 10-bolt. Master, combination valve, speedo gears, and parking brake cables are discussed in the following FAQ:
