Why not just do the willwood NDL's in the front, the volvo rears and save yourself a ton of trouble.
You'll still need to figure out the e-brake.
I did what you are proposing on my 86 SPG and I wouldn't do it again.
If you go through with it, find the latest style booster/master (non ABS) and also lengthen the rod in the master to get rid of the pedal slop, you'll have to bend the hard line at the caliper or get a custom brake line (you'll want to change those 30 yo lines to SS). There is a DOT licensed shop here that does custom lines (did my clutch line for $35) and I'll have them do a proper line (9000 fitting to caliper and no hard line). If you want info - e-mail me I forget their name.
You'll need different axles too so take them from the donor but the tripods are different from the 80 and an 88+ so you need to take care of that as well.
I think that's it.....
