91 camaro drum to disc brake swap qestion?

i have a 91 camaro rs with a drum set up now. i am almost done with my ls1 t56 swap and i am wanting to put rear disc on my car. i found a guy who has a 91 z28 complete rear with disc on it already but he does not have the rear e brake cables that attach to the calipers. so does anybody know where i can get them or the right part numbers and is that the only thing i would have to change to get it to work...and of corse the prop valve. my other thought is that is to swap ls1 brakes on the back instead. is either of them better than the other? either way if i swap the whole axle out for the original brakes or the ls1 swap brakes im still going to put a posi in it bc both are a open rear end. thanx for the help

Here are the PBR/LT1 cables (the same site sells an LS1 kit along with cables)

http://www.flynbye.com/catalog/i199.html

The LS1 set-up has a better parking brake. If the 91 rear is complete with brakes, I'd leave them on. If the new rear has a different gear ratio, you'll need to swap the drive and/or driven gear to make the speedo function correctly.

There's a section in the 10-Bolt FAQ that concerns brakes: master, combination valve, cables and so on:
