Brake hard lines, drum vs disc

I bought a full set of hard lines for the Tunebug shortly after I bought him. They were listed as a set for drum brake cars -- I needed one of the lines, and saw no reason not to just buy the set.

I'm switching over to discs, and was wondering if I can use the same hard lines to replace the rest of the brake lines on the car. I still need to get new flex lines, but I've got the hard line set handy and it would be a good project to work on.

Are there differences in the hard brake lines between a disc brake and drum brake car?

Yes the hard lines will work all but the 2 short ones on the front wheels from w/cyl to w.cyl.
You will need the disc brake rubber lines but they will screw into the hard pipes.
 
Thanks, Frank. One more project to keep me busy this winter.
