Just did 4th-gen rear end swap on my thirdgen. I need to fix e-brake!

Car specs in sig.

Haven't been able to drive the car yet though I still need to fix the assembly for one of the brake lines, finish up my front suspension work, and bleed the brakes...

Anyway, that's kind of off topic...as everyone who has done the 4th-gen rear end swap knows, the e-brake doesnt work, stock...so I want to get my e-brake fixed. Yes, I know I have an automatic, but I'm going to need it for inspection, and my mom who is not too well-versed on cars (but somehow found out that my e-brake does not work) is making me do it (though she is letting me drive the car, so long as I'm actively working on a solution for the e-brake)

I need to know what exactly I will need to get the brakes to work again?

The only problem I see, at a first glance, is that the cables are too short. I found some 56 3/4" cables at Napa for $20, those would probably work, but I've heard something about a bracket?

Please help, I'm confused. Thanks

I put a 97 anniversary Rear end in mine.. I was told that there is a GM Part that you can get to make the E-brake work.. I am sure many know of this part.. this might be a better topic for 3rd gen.. I have that part number written somewhere... If anyone knows please advise..
