welcome to the board, first off, the disc swap was done fine-I did this too. Just make sure when you get drop spindles that you get them for the 72 balljoints (some conversion kits used upgraded balljoints)

Sounds like the rearend is fine too, but someone else will chime in with more info.

sorry, no help about the repop doors-I'm not to that point yet but there are a bunch of people that should be able to help you out.

the 70 MC is not good. it is for drum/drum, and does not have the volume etc needed for the calipers. Should also have the disk/drum proportioning valve, if he used the one from the '70, it is a dist. block, not a prop. valve and won't work right.
