Default DSE brake booster and MC install

DSE,
I'm in the process of installing a DSE brake booster and MC in a '71 Firebird, that will have Baer brakes all around. The OE MC used a distributor valve that, as you know, had the two front brake lines and one larger rear brake line attached. The questions are:
How would you recommend I connect the existing brake lines to the DSE MC?
Should I "T" the two front lines and then connect a line to the rear valve of the MC?
If so, do I need to have those loops that the factory had, or do you have picture, drawings or recommendations on how to set this up?
For the rear brake line, I have ordered a proportioning valve, that I understand is to be installed "in-line" and allows for the adjustment of pressure between the front and back. That being said, do I just connect this to the front of the MC and the have the other end connect to the existing rear brake line?
What's the best connectors for the lines, as the rear line won't be long enough to to the proportion valve.
Lastly, do I need the distributor valve at all now, or was this only necessary originally because the OE set up was disk brakes in the front and drum in the rear.
Hope you're able to help, pictures, drawings, etc are helpful for me to be able to visualize.
Mike
