If you have a SATA HD already then you'll want this: either the drive carrier with the SSD cable mounted Hard Drive Carrier w/ SSD Flex Cable - Apple P/N 076-00040 or the cable its self Cable, SSD Flex - Apple P/N 076-00018

Dan, If I already have a fusion drive in there will I need any of these replacement parts, or can I just substitute the respective PCIe and 2.5 inch drives for the existing ones?

You'll need to make a full backup before doing anything.

First step is to break the Fusion Drive following this How to split up a Fusion Drive.

And yes, all of the needed hardware sans the replacement drive/s is present.

But before you jump what is your goals here?
