One more question. Parking brake cable are they the same on drum an disc and how do I tell the difference? I found everything I need to do the conversion. I'm going with all new parts except the backing plate of course. Also the brake lines are they the same or should I just replace those as well?
The parking brake cables are the same except for the cast ends which attach to the e-brake assembly. You can modify the drum brake cables to fit the disc brake backing plate, with some difficulty, or so I'm told by someone who went that route. I replaced the cables.
The brake lines on the body of the car are the same. The brake lines between the body and the wheel cylinder (drum) or caliper (disc) are different. You'll need the soft lines for the calipers.

Will the abs not work on non abs? I don't see anywhere that it says for sure if it does or not.
Fate also wants about $250 +shipping for his parts

My car was ABS, but it never worked cause my sensors were messed up. I swapped the non ABS master and lines into the car (all engine bay lines) and kept all the ABS calipers, hubs, and etc, and my brakes work fine.
If you have ABS already and you want to keep the ABS, then you need to get the parts from a car with ABS. (meaning the rear hub)
If you have ABS and you get non ABS parts, then your ABS won't work at all because you'll be missing two sensors.
If you don't have ABS and you get ABS parts, you still won't have ABS.
The only real difference between the ABS and non ABS are the knuckles and the hubs because they have a cutout for the sensor and the rings for that sensor. The calipers might have difference part numbers (not sure), but they're the same and work fine.

I figured there couldn't be much difference in the abs and non. Thanks for confirming, now I can go get my parts and do the swap.
