Money: $100 - $1000 depends on where you get your parts, if you buy parts new, from the junkyard and how much the junkyard will charge you for it.
Time: 3 hours - 3 days depending on your mechanical skills and competence.
Anti-Lock: You have a VP so you do not have anti-lock so don't worry about it. If you read the FAQ's it would tell you that at worst case scenario you would have to adjust or install a proportioning valve in order to control the amount of braking control the rear has since you do not want the rear to brake harder than the front.
AEM: Under normal driving conditions, you will see the same or slightly better, the intake typically will make you push your engine harder b/c of the change in sound so that will usually make you floor it more meaning crappy gas mileage.
Drum to disc brake conversion? 
NO engine mods... SWAP or TURBO .....nothing less!!!!!
