You don't say if you're doing it yourself or not. But unless otherwise well prepared for tools...
Lots of PB-Blaster (Penetrating oil) Start hitting those hose end fittings now!
A good set of tubing wrenches. These are box end wrenches with a slot cut in the box - they can go over tubing to get to the nut. Buy some quality.
Try very hard not to twist any brakeline. Replace if you do.
May as well go for some DOT4 Synthetic brake fluid - not terribly more expensive and purportedly better. You want to flush a least 3 pints through the system, two quarts wouldn't hurt.
Since you are that close, you may want to take off the brake calipers, inspect and clean them well, then drain & fill them while out - best with either the pressure bleeder or vacuum pump. Before you start, with the wheels off, you may want to make sure the caliper pistons are sliding freely. Squeeze the brake pads out, them have someone press the pedal. I've seen caliper pistons free with a good flush, but one can't count on it.
What else....
Take your time and do it methodically and carefully. Bad or failed brakes are no fun. Ask someone that's failed a single system (not dual triangular like the 200 series) car not once, but twice! Eg - Me!
