Nothing needs to be done to the Disc brake pads/rotors.
But with this change, you will also need to change the reservoir for the Master Cylinder, as the Tahoe one will not fit under the hood of a Square.
He also indicates older Squares (like mine) probably could use a 81-87 Vacuum Booster, for peak performance, as these were improved as well, in the later years of the Squares.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
