I have Granada brakes on mine. It works great. I didn't put a brake booster on mine. I didn't want the hassle. That kit from discbrakeswap.com is a good deal. Its basically the same thing as Granada brakes.
I would stick with the manual steering as well. My car is manual steering with a quick ratio steering box and I love it. Like was already stated, the power steering setups always seem to leak.

I prefer the 65-67 style KH brake kit. It's a bolt-on for 65-70 drum cars (doesn't require replacing spindles) and I like the 4-piston setup more than the single-piston sliding caliper setup. I put that kit on my car last year and I absolutely love it. I bought the manual kit expecting a hard pedal with an option of buying a booster in the future, but I've decided I don't need it. Pedal effort is fine, and if anything it requires slightly less umph than the old drum setup.
The next step up (since it is a big block car) would be something like Mustang Steve's late model Cobra brake conversion.

well he's got a 429 thats pushing 500+HP and he's already dropped it in. this car is NOT going to be a resto project. and yea... thats a pretty heavy motor compared to the stock 289
also here in TX when drums get hot.... alot of them really dont work
That's got to be a joke, right? How was that done?
I don't know. You can cram a 429 in a '67 with some work to the shock towers. I've seen it done. Easier fit in a '71-73, but Crites has shock tower notch kits for these kinds of swaps.

In '67 they widened the engine bay to accommodate a big block.

The 67-70 has the same engine bay, and with conversion headers no tower cutting is required.
