10 bolt drum to 12 bolt swap

I'm getting a 12 bolt disc custom rear for a f body for free. My question is what would I need to do the swap. Ie: Do I have to swap master cylander? Proportioning valves? Break lines? any thing else I'm missing???
Thanks in advance for all help

You'll need new sway bar mounts to fit the larger diameter tubes. I'm also pretty sure that the stock drum break setup will not work, but not 100% positive.
