91 Camaro axle swap

I've found a 4th gen axle from a 95 Z28 for $200. Hopefully I'll be going to purchase it tomorrow. I've tried searching but the website is so slow that I got frustrated. I'll need to purchase all of the brake hardware because it doesn't come with any. What options do I have that will bolt up? Would it be best to just go back with the factory rear disc set up or look for a newer set up? Also in the few articles I did get to read, one or two mentioned that the factory proportional valve from a 91 RS (drum brakes) would work with rear discs and others said otherwise? If it doesn't work, could I just purchase one from a 91/2 that had disc brakes? Also will the MC work? I'm pretty sure I'm clear on the rear brake lines and E-brake cable, I'm just unsure on the PV and MC.

Thanks

Re: 91 Camaro axle swap

Well I purchased the axle this weekend. I think I've figured out what PV and MC will work. My question now is will an 89-92 rear disc setup work on the axle? Also could someone confirm that a 93-97 rear disc setup from a TA work? The axle didn't come with calipers, caliper brackets or rotors.
