What disk brake swap did you do? If you swapped to stock disks, then follow the parts book advice. But if you swapped to F-Body spindles, I think you need F-Body ball joints! Check your old paperwork from when you did the swap and make sure you have the right ball joints (and other parts) for your setup.
While you are doing all this, check you're A-Arms for cracks. When I did the disk braks swap more than 10 year back, I bought a set of arms at the swap meet and had them reinforced (basically boxed - http://epage.com/brad/Chevelle/arm/) and had all the hardware mounted to them. Then it was just swap out the old and insert the new.
