So I don't need to change any brackets or anything.What about the clutch pedals will the work with the old dash or do I need to get another set of pedals till I change my dash.

Don't know for positive but I think the 90 clutch pedal/arm will fit the earlier brake/clutch bracket.

You may need an early style transmission mount bracket - If the 90's is close enough to the frame mounting holes a little minor modifying might get you home free.

You'll have to switch the pivot bracket for the passenger side front axle. The one that is riveted on to the crossmember under the motor. I believe the front brake hoses are also different. I had to shorten the tie rods when I went the other way, 2WD to 4WD.

Even though it is Bronco to Bronco. I have both trucks.

Yes. Since you have both trucks look at the brackets. You will be able to see the difference.
