LT1 rear brakes on 91 GTA rear end....... quick questions....

I bought a 3.23:1 rear disc rear from a 1991 GTA. The seller stated that it was just missing the rotors but I came to find out that it was missing a caliper bracket and all of the e-brake stuff on one side. Since the seller didn't have the stuff, I began looking for replacements. I wound up buying a pair of LT1 calipers, rotors, brackets as well as the e-brake setups.

Theoretically, I should just be able to install the missing caliper bracket and then swap the ebrake stuff (I'll do both sides since it looks slightly diff from the 91)...

Is that all there is to it?

If he advertised it as only missing rotors and it was missing more then just the rotors when you got it i wound demand some sort of compensation.

That should be it. You'd need to swap the combination valve if your car was originally equipped with drums.
