'94 LT1 C5 Brake Conversion

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'm looking for further clarification.
For my '94 Z28...
I've got Right & Left LS1 steering knuckles, 12.8 (or .9) rotors, Corvette C5 2-piston caliper & abutments.
Aside from bolts, pins, pads & lines - am I good to go, OR do I ALSO need brackets?
Its not very clear to me. I understand that if I want to use the LT1 knuckles, I have to saw off the "ears" and DEFINATELY need brackets.
As the C5 abutments line up with the LS1 holes, I'm wondering if that's all that matters.
I am running 17' & 18" wheels...

Go ahead and flame me - I can take it. It's just that I've searched forums and seem to be getting conflicting info.

Thanks,
Chris

You'll need brackets for the C5 conversion. I just did it with the LT1 spindles but the directions are universal between the LT and LS cars, you still need to cut the LS stock caliper mounting points, just not as much needs cut off as the LT spindles.
