Just as the title says, do I have everything I need to convert to LS1 front brakes?

Looks like it, with a little modification you can use the LT1 hoses.

What pads are you using???

It looks like you are missing the caliper mounting bracket. Here you can see it in one of rlax31's pics. http://www.radford.edu/~rvandenhe/Pi...acket%202.html. I've heard you can make the LT1 brake lines work but i've never done it. I reused the stock LS1 lines.

On my 95 I reused my LT1 lines, I made 2 brackets about an inch and a half long, and unbolted the line from the frame and used the bracket to hold the line out. Worked perfectly.

I'll prob get stainless lines and I already got some hawk pads. I just wanted to make sure I had all the LS1 parts I need.

Where can I get that caliper mounting bracket?

Someone told me I am missing the LS1 spindles and I have to have them. Is this correct?

It looks like you have the right spindles/knuckles. Here is a pic another one of rlax31's. You should look at his pics. http://www.radford.edu/~rvandenhe/Pi...0knuckles.html

As for the caliper mount i would try ebay or a salvage yard.

You have the caliper mount bracket, it's the cage that the caliper mounts to and it holds the pads in place. The back of it has two mounting lugs that bolt to the spindle.

I recently installed powerslot rotors front and rear with hawk pads and upgraded to C5 13" rotors up front and braided brake lines on all four corners.

OH MY GOD!!! The car practically stops before you hit the pedal. HUGE difference.

I guess because i'm use to looking at clean painted ones like these.
http://www.radford.edu/~rvandenhe/Pi...e%20setup.html

Right, that's funny since those mounting brackets in the picture you posted are not painted.

Eitherway his picture even if they're dirty (on a clean light color carpet) are noticeable.
