Default Brakes and Power Steering LQ4 into 69 Chevelle

I am a newbie to LS conversions, but loving it so far.

I pulled a LQ4 and 4L80E out of a 2002 Silverado HD and putting it into a 69 Chevelle. While I am waiting on my motor and heads to be machined, I am cleaning up the frame and front suspension.

My question:
What suggestions do folks have for power steering and brake options for me? Without knowing if I can re-use my orginial brake booster (due to szie/space) I am trying to figure out what combination of power steering pump (I have the one from the LQ4), brake booster/other I should use. I am planning to switch the front drum brakes to dual piston discs in the front. What are my options? Recommendations?

I would use the Hydroboost unit already coming with the HD Trucks and swapping the brakes to the 98-02 Ls brakes if you have 17" wheels.

I used CCP hydraboost "streetbeast" and jeep grand Cherokee power steering unit. Great upgrades.

Lots of A body swaps here. This should give you more than a few options:

I have quick ratio boxes, adapter fittings, rag joints and smaller pump pulleys that you will need for a proper Ls swap with upgraded steering. I'd like to help if I can. Most of the info is in thread as well.
