need Emergency brake help

I have a 1966 Mustang Coupe with a 6 cylider. I just replaced the rear end with an 8" out of a 1974 maverick. The 7.5" that I took out had an emergency brake cable that looped around and and a center pull. The 8" has 2 seperate emergency brake cables. Looking under the car, there is an equalizer bar that looks like it pulls 1 cable.

What should I do to get this hooked up
 
It's an easy enough fix. You can still use everything forward of the equalizer bar (including it). There should also be an adjusting bolt with a hook at one end that connects into the equalizer. All you need is the '65 style bracket for the brake cables. They used two individual cables and subsequently used a bracket which connects both cables to the aforementioned adjusting bolt.

Here's what it should look like (from The Va. Classic Mustang Parts site):
