Im located just outside turlock, in denair. It seems like the brakes would be easy enough to do too, but ive just never done brake work on our f-bodys.. Well, nothing more than rotors and pads.
Ive done lines on other vehicles, just dont know if there is anything special on these.

If you don't mind driving down to Madera I can help you with everything on your list, as long as the relocation are bolt in.
To make the brake install go easier, you'll want something like PB Blaster or Liquid wrench to spray around the rear disc hub mount ares since rust likes to form there. You'll also want a small propane torch to heat up the brake line fittings so they'll brake loose with little drama. And make sure you have a quality brake line wrench.
