just pop some standard jubilee clips on there mate, they will be fine. i actually prefer them to the standard clips. it will probably pop one of the hoses off as said.
as for coolant, youll get away with just topping the system up with tap water assuming theres a decent mix of coolant and water in there already. its worth draining the whole system and doing a 50/50 coolant water mix at some point though.
those pads are rears judging by the description. the 'insert colour here' stuff pads are made by EBC. the colour is there designation for the compound/application of the pads. black being std road compound, green stuff - uprated/fast road, red stuff - 'flagship fast road' - yellow stuff 'fastest street'/track, blue - intermediate track, orange - full race.
for your application id say redstuff would be a good allrounder. i run greens on my puma on the 260mm brakes and since i stripped it out, ive found them to be ok. they will fade if i really hammer them im sure, but with redstuffs on the ST brakes youd be fine i think.
as for the A/C, get shot of all the pipework, drier (little canister in the drivers side inner arch, infront of engine mount), the aircon rad and finally the pump. once you have the non-A/C PAS pump fitted the belt you have will be too long so youll need the auxiliary belt from a non-A/C car, which you can get from any 1/2 decent motorfactors.
