I'd look more at getting soem 12" B body spindles and disc on the front. I think the slotted won't give you a noticable inprovement. They allow you to keep the stock calipers.
Also unless you really liek the look of the hydroboost, my 79-81 small 4 wheel disc dual diaphragm booster stil works with 12" of vacuum and lower with other motors. A bunch of money you could spend other places in the brakes.
Earls and Russel make SS flex lines, not real expensive through Jegs or Summit.
