Any Disc Brake install tips.

Alright so I知 finally doing the front disc brake swap on my lwb rear leaf 69 gmc 1500. But because I live in the middle of no where I wanted to go with parts available at most parts stores so I wouldn稚 have to order anything from a company and wait a week for the part. I went with stock 72 spindles out of a parts truck. The rotors are almost new so I知 reusing them. Got the rebuilt calipers at autozone along with the pads, tie rods ends and outs. Adjusting sleeves. Upper and lower ball joints. The only custom parts I had to buy were conversion brake hoses from early classic enterprises. I purchased a new master cylinder/ booster kit with the proportining valve and brackets from LMC. And I have the 72 steering shaft to connect to the 72 ball joints.
Does anyone have any extra tips to help this install go smoother. I need to bench bleed the master cylinder before I install it. But I would like to get all of this done over the weekend if possible. I also am swapping in the 72 5 lug leaf spring rear end into my gmc.
