Although the instructions said to disconnect the emergency brake cable, after messing with it for 30 minutes or so, I said to "heck" with the instructions and worked around it.
I don't recall any specific problem with leaving the cable connected, so it must have been a whole lot easier.
See "Related Questions" below for more details - I contributed to the answer, so maybe I specifically mentioned the cable there too.

Where is the ABS Computer on a 1991 Caprice and how can you disconnect it so it can release pressure on a caliper?
that's not how you relese pressure on the caliper. you disconnect the brake fluid hose from the caliper and that will relese the pressure. if the caliper still won't move then you need to take the caliper apart and clean it good because the piston is most likely getting stuck.
