Default rebuilding calipers

I removed the front two calipers on my 75 coupe and for the first time since I've gotten started on this car there is good news. The calipers are already stainless steel sleeved. I still have to pull the rear calipers and hopefully they will be ss also. The piston bores and the pistons look pretty good too except for some crud that looks like it will clean up with scotch brite pads. So my question is, I will be rebuilding them with the o ring seals. I think that what I have on there now are the lip seals. I've seen the seal kits only or the kits with the pistons and seals. Will the o ring seals fit these pistons or are the o ring piston grooves machined differently than the lip seal type requiring me to buy the kit with the pistons and seals?
