1LE front brakes

hi there guys , well this weekend i was out at the local scrap yard looking for parts for my truck and as i was walking around i saw a white camaro sitting in one of the corners of the yard. Well i have to say that i was not drawn to the car because as i stated i was on a different mission that day, but my brother whom was with me convinced me to check it out; as i approached the car i noticed some 25th anniversary RS decals on it so as everyone would i didn't think it was worth to get closer but once again my brother said we should just check it out. My feelings changed as i saw a throttle body sitting on the hood, so i rushed but just to find out the distributor cover bolts i need were no longer there, at that moment out of sheer curiosity i peeked at the brakes not expectant at all but was rather surprised to find that the damn thing had a 1LE brake settup. At first i did not know what to do since i had already been buying parts for a ls1 brake upgrade but i decided that although more expensive to maintain i just had to have the 1LE. I got the 1LE front setup complete for $120 dollars, a steal on my book considering how much i see this things sell for. I have only one question now; my 91 z28 came with g92 package, so do i need to change the proportioning valve to make this work? Thank you guys in advance

Son of a gun! If you end up not using them, let me know, I'll buy 'em.

thanks, but i've been waiting for something like this to happen since i found out about such package; i already washed the crap out of the whole thing and just waiting to lay paint on the spindles and calipers so i can slap them on.
