Been a while, so I figured I'd update.
After a few days of fighting the install of the kit with crossover, dad got annoyed and decided to take it up the street to an exhaust shop. They couldnt get the x pipe installed (read:didnt want to use their own pipe) so they just ran it as the kit would have. It sounds much better than the previous system, so I'll live with it.
Brakes are non-existent. When I picked the car up, I blew past the house because I couldnt get it stopped. Got it turned around then ran into an issue of it not wanting to stay running (timing was way out of sorts). Finally got it to stay running, and it became apparent that we never checked the trans fluid after checking the speedo gear..it wouldnt engage reverse without a loud thud.
I went out yesterday and fixed the trans fluid issue and timing. Didnt have an extra person to fix brakes, but noticed a fairly significant puddle under the car. Upon further inspection, the front seal on the oil pan is leaking pretty bad. So, I'm going to bleed the brakes when I get help, and send the car to another shop for another pan gasket. Fortunately, the power tour was pushed back..but I've still got a ton to do before that and not much money to do it with..haha
