Default Corvette rotor/ caliper swap - hoses?

Figuring I'd get some Earl's stainless lines to do this
(got the Bishop brackets, got a line on some 'vette
calipers, have to get rotors/pads). But don't know if
there is anything funny about hoses for mix-n-match
or if the Camaro part number is good to go. Anybody
know about that?

Should be good to go.
It will work with the stock rubber lines.
As long as the SS lines are the same length or longer, you'll be fine.

I don't know how the LT1 lines compare to the LS1's, but the LT1 lines are too short, I went with the C5 front SS lines.

You should use the Corvette parts for that kit. The stock F-body hose is shorter and could be stretched when the steering is turned to full lock.

The parts list is here:
