Dust shield & LS1 brakes

I'm doing the LS1 brake upgrade on my 91 Z28. Question is, do you reuse the dust shields or just get rid of them. If you keep them, I'm assuming they need to be modified, right?

Can't speak for the LS1, but the 1LE swap dumps the shields (two of the three shield mounting points are used for the adapter bracket).
