I don't know it all but I remember to get a larger master cylinder ( you
got that), the rear brake lines won't exactly fit up and need some
bending/ retrofitting, there needs to be a proportioning valve somewhere
in the system to balance the  front to rear bias.

It's easy to snatch the rear axle as a whole  but it's not necessary.

That's my half cents worth,
