drum to disc rear end

i just swapped a 4th gen rear end with discs onto my third gen and all is well except the hand brake cables do not look like they will work with the rest of the handbrake assembly, do i need the e-brake cables from a 3rd gen with discs or something else?

The following site sells cables for both the LT1 (93-97) and LS1 (98+) swap:

When I did this swap I needed the 4th gen cables to the center cable link then modified the 3rd gen center link to accept them
