Rear Brake Swap. Help!!!

Well people i need help(not mentally). I believe i have all the components and am in the process of installing them. Well i have the standard 88' rear disc brakes(screw in type e-brake). I have heard from many people on the board that they suck. Mine too suffer this condition in which they fail to work. Well i want to put the PBR setup (from an 88' Formula) on my rear and want to know what do i need to make the swap a success. i have the calipers, the caliper backing plate, the rotors, and plus the driver side metal brake line(since it it different from mine). also do i need a another master cylinder? i think it's the disc/drums type master cylinder that is needed. do i need another prop valve? well if anyone knows what i'm missing here or if anyone has tried this yet, let me know. thanks in advance.

You'll want the cables for the e-brake as well, I'm about 95% sure they arent the same on both setups.
Its an 88 with the PBR calipers? Sounds like someone swapped on that car too..
