Is the Master, proportioning, etc, different?

Yes, but pick a system and don't mix-n-match. Either do the SS 1LE brakes, or the ZL1 brakes. Given you already have the SS rear, which is the same as the SS 1LE, just swapping the front won't mess up the intrinsic proportioning, just like the GMPP 6-piston kit. Dig up the part numbers for the SS 1LE or Cadillac ATS-V front calipers, pads, rotors, lines, and rotor shields and you'll be good-to-go at a much lower price than the GMPP kit. If you need help with that let us know.
All Camaro6's use the same master cylinder.
The ZL1 brakes use more piston area front and rear, so you'd need to swap both axles over to retain the proportioning balance. Generally I'd say there's no need to use ZL1 brakes unless you're an Advanced or Instructor Track rat, they're overkill for an SS on the street.
