I have a parts car with cobra brakes, what do I need off the car?

Hey all, I have an 86 mustang that has received the full late model cobra 5 lug brakes on all 4 wheels. The car has been updated with the brakes as well as the proportioning valve, sn95 brake booster and master cylinder.

As for the rearend, it's an 8.8 355 rear end, and I'm actually going to set up the entire rear end for my 66...so i'm not worried about the rear, it'll go right in with the brakes after I weld the perches on.

For the front, do I just need the rotors and calipers?? I assume I don't need the sn95 spindles, as I use my drum spindles and steves brackets??

what about the adjustable proportioning valve that's on the car, should I grab that too? master cylinder?? (I know the booster is too big..I'll use a fox booster likely)

anything else I've forgotten??

Thanks all!
