landotter's advice is good too. I forget which type of brakes were on that mtb you're stripping parts off for this new one, but if you want to use them, you should take note. V-brakes need more cable pull to work than standard cantis. Some brake levers have adjustable pull, other don't. If the levers from that mtb aren't adjustable, you'll have to match the brake type from the mtb with the new one. Or, can you just use the brakes off that mtb and not get new ones?
