3rd gen to 4th gen front brakes to 4th gen BBK, is this possible???

Questions:
I own a 1989 GTA which has been converted to 4th gen brakes, question is; Now that I already have the conversion can I install 4th gen 1998-2002 big brake kits made by brands like Brembo, Wilwood, etc,? Will they bolt in just like if I owned a 4th gen?
Thanks!👌

Ok, so I just go ahead and order a Wilwood or Brembo big brake 6 piston front brake kit for 98-02 4th gen body and it will bolt right up into my converted 3rd gen, with my GTA wheels and everything, right?
Have you personally done it?
Thanks

Now that's different. The gta wheels won't clear many brakes. The wheels will be the problem not the car

I've used c5 and s10 fitment brakes on a commonly modified 3rd Gen spindle.

Not so much, I have seen some 4th gen conversions that will not work on the 3rd gen that was converted to 4th gen brakes, you have to be really careful there
