The Delco-Moraine iron calipers (82-88) have a bad reputation on TGO as they often don't function well, if at all. Putting them into a 92 will be somewhat problematic because the corresponding combination valve and its fittings will not fit the 92. Moreover, the parking brake may well be an issue, especially if your 92 doesn't have the tunnel-mounted adjustment piece (and I doubt that it does). Some members have had to swap in the parking brake handle and its components to enjoy a functioning parking brake. The following link may prove useful:

Any bracing is useful, especially the Wonderbar, SFC's and STB's (with after market mounts). That said, the brace you mention, along with a couple of others, don't seem particularly useful:
