No. You will probably reduce the effectiveness of your brakes by doing this, as your master cylinder is not big enough to operate that much caliper front AND rear.
Do a sierra based disc rear or leave the drums.

use the vented rotor's, vit calipers up front and a solid disk\sierra caliper in the rear .. your brakes will be able to pull you up very very easy even with the added leverage of 33's. ( I could not say that I ever really found the brakes wanting even with heavy bias ply 35's)

Did the car ever get up to speed though?
