I'm curious. I've got the larger of the 2 pieces I see. I recently upgraded the fronts to disc and will keep drums in the rear.
Do I actually need TWO separate pieces?

I believe you do. I used an SSBC kit and it came with a proportioning valve. Be sure to change out the master cylinder as well. An all drum car converted to front disc needs the proportioning valve to work properly. I'm no expert, but this is what I found in my research.

The master cylinder on a disc braked car has to have a larger front resevoir to cope with the extra swept volume of the caliper piston.
