I recommend a Chilton manual for the 77 Aspen Volare as a reference and instructions. You can also PM me your questions and cell number and I will try to help.

Also search here for my disc brake blogs and others who have performed the conversion.

Dr Diff is helpful and provides great support, too.
 
Here's what came with mine.

I found the front conversion staright forward. Races in the rotors are chinesium so I changed them for the tokens that came with the kit. I had trouble remembering how the inner seal were to be orientated. The instructions don't mention this part.
The rear disc conversion I just did had even less detail and the predetermined length of the parking brake cables were not right. The sheath was too long and the cable stickout too short for the intermediate cable.
