Default Doing rims,rotors, and brakes 1985

I'm going to be swapping my rims on my 1985 Corvette to c6 using Motorsports adaptors. I also got a set of Brakemotive rotors that will be here tomorrow. I wanted to do the swap on Sunday and I was wondering if there is anything differant from a standard brake job on the Corvettes? No pressed on rotors or anything crazy?
Also what pads are people using? Looking for street use with low dust.

There should be no surprises. I use EBC Red Stuff pads. They're low dust ceramic.

I wish I had not wasted the money replacing the 85 brakes with 85 parts. I plan on replacing them again with a C5 brake upgrade.

Ya I thought about that but I drive my Vette like an old women! I just blew my Chrysler 300c up before buying my Vette and I'm still a little gun shy.
I got the Brake motive slotted/drilled rotors and I thin.k I'm going with Hawk pads
