Default 1967 rear drum reversion

I have a 1967 mustang coupe that had an older version of a wilwood rear disc brake kit installed. Its given me nothing but trouble with upkeep, parts and wheel fitment, so i've decided to try to revert them back to drums. I just don't know the complete part list i need to do this.

I was hoping to get some advice on the reversion and help finding the parts.

So far all i have is the backing plates, new springs and basic hardware, wheel cylinders, lines, drums and shoes. I just don't know what other hardware or pieces i would need. A little help?

Parking brake links, levers, and cables?

Hopefully the underbody brackets are still in place, in which case you would only need a couple of C clips, hairpin clips, and any of the hardware missing from the front.

Alright guys, after taking apart the rear discs and installing the drums, i realized i needed a few more parts, so while waiting on those parts, I want to replace some lines and distribution block, while possibly installing a proportioning valve. Also, i might want to rebuild/replace the MC since its the original. Now the question I have is, where is the residual pressure check valve that goes to the rear brakes? Before i took apart the rear brakes, i realized that with the car jacked up, the rear brakes hold pressure, and was told maybe the guy who installed the disc brakes didn't get rid of the residual check valve. I would like to confirm this. Where is it at?

Also, do i need a proportioning valve since i am going back to drums in the rear?
