Brake HELP!!!

So when I bought my 92Z it had been wrecked, and the rear end had been changed with an 85 disc rear, and never has had e-brake. I found the right rear after years of looking. I pulled it apart last night and its had lots of water in it, so it's junk. The brakes however are all there with e-brake cables.

My question is will the PBR aluminum calibers and rotors just bolt up to the 85 rear?

Can I change the mounting brackets and make them work?

Or, should I pull everything out of the 85 rear, which is all good stuff and 28 spline, and put it in the 92 housing to maintain the brakes??

Thanks in advance!!!
