Default Manual Drum to Power Drum

I have just got into a 69 Camaro with manual drums.. brand new master, drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, adjusters..etc. etc.. It would be a shame to scrap the brand new set, but I need more braking power..
I've read on this and there's no straight answers, just a whole lot of opinions!
Does anyone know of a "complete" manual to power drum kit out there? NPD has a booster and master set up, but states nothing about the actual conversion and does not include vacuum lines or valves, nothing about a adjustable rod. I know I can buy all this pieced out, but if there's a kit with instructions that would make life a bit easier.. I'm not JOE MECHANIC, but I'm confident I can handle drilling a couple holes on the firewall and setting up vacuum lines.
I also read someplace that the pedal might need to be swapped too??
I like drums as long as their power.. I have a 67 GTO with drums all around
and they perform just as well as my 70 vette with upgraded 4 wheel discs!
