The CPP kit has a proportioning valve so I'm ASSuming it will work....don't want to assume with the brakes though.

Part number? If you have the disc/drum combination valve with the fixed proportioning valve, then you'll want to swap that out for a disc/disc unit, otherwise your rear brakes will be greatly underutilized. Disc brakes require more pressure than drums, so while the disc/drum combination valves will work in a disc/disc application, it just means that you won't achieve adequate pressure to the rear calipers to make them function like they should, making your front brakes do almost all of the work.
