Default Gen 4 brake booster with gen 1 camaro?

Hey guys, I wanna run a gen 4 brake booster on my 69. My buddy told me to buy this dse bracket and thats all I need, is this correct? The info on the bracket says it only works with a special dse booster. Thanks guys let me know what you think.

The forth gen booster firewall mounts are different. The one to go with are the 2002-2008 corvette units. You may have to redrill the pedal or run a 1/4" spacer between the bracket and booster.

Or you can run the tuff stuff booster part number 2229NC

Works perfectly with the DSE reduced angle bracket

You will also need the pedal clevis kit

Ok so after talking to my buddy he suggested that I get an aftermarket booster that will work now and when I use the gen 4 front and rear disk later. The reason I need a new booster is the stock one is so large it is in the way of my coil packs, not to mention I want something that looks more modern. Do you guys know of a booster that doesnt need any brackets or mods, that is inexpensive, not that large, and that looks fairly moderns/ not shiny? Also it needs to work with my current brakes and work when I get gen 4 disk put all the way around. I know this is a tall order and kind of tedious but thats kinda what Im looking for. Do I have any optons or is the c5 booster the way to go?Thanks again guys for your help in advance.

That booster says it's 9 inches. I think that's the same size as what I have. I wanted something like 7 or 8 inches. How big is the c5 one? Maybe mines is 10 or 11.
