Default Brake booster/distr. block question- Technical

Putting a GM refurb. 11" booster power disk brake package in the car. Removed the drum brake lines and have a conflict with the new positions. The booster/master cylinder/distribution block came pre assembled. The front of the distribution block goes to a proportioning valve within that assembly. In my books, the outlet in the front of the db (distr. block) goes to one of the front brakes, and one of the side outlets goes to the prop valve. The sizes of the brake connectors would work if I fed the front brake into the front of the db. I don't know how these db's work. Any help???

No frame mounted prop valve. I believe the that there is one in the cluster I purchased. There is the power booster, master cylinder, distribution block and another cast cylinder that is about 1.5 times the size of a golf ball.

Here is what I am doing; The rear outlet on the drivers side is going to the rear line, the front drivers side outlet is feeding the drivers side front and the pass side only outlet feeds the pass front. I have had to change the connectors to different sizes to accomidate this but they were junk anyway and I replaced all of them after buying the flare tool. Look out below!!!!!!!!!!
