There might be more than just a hub that you need. I did this coversion on a Z/28 from a WS6 T/A. You needed the master cyclinder and the porportioning valve as well. Does an Alero have a porportioning valve or has the computer replaced it? I am not sure if the ABS computer would be different. Find a parts list and see if they list a different computer. Might have to change the whole spindle to get the correct mounting points.

Yes, as far as the basic hardware the knuckle, and everything outward of it are different. Also you need two new outer parking brake cables and two new brake hoses. I know the master cylinder is the same on both models. I've got to check on the ABS parts yet. I have the rest of it sitting on the shelf in the garage.

Any updates on this conversion? I only parking brake cable and rear flex hoses I see on GM Parts Cheap (I like their catalog system, just won't give you the part numbers). Do those really need to be replaced? And has anyone figured out if the stock calipers will bolt right up?

Ok, so they won't bolt right up, I would need new knuckles, hoses, parking brake cable, rotors, calipers, and mounting bracket. Do I also need new hub assemblies or are those the same?
