Discs as they have a different bolt pattern
Calipers and mountings as the discs have a different offset
Speedo drive is different
whell spindles and spacers
assorted hardware

For your front end parts there is no need to differentiate between the 75-76F and the K model parts as they all used a single disc and 19 inch wheel up front.

BUMP!

I'm about to do the same thing. Any one have any tips?

Marco83: Did you complete your swap? I have the same bike and want spokes on it.

thanks

See if MRieck will tell you the details of his Millon Dollar CB.  He is using a spoke front wheel with the F2/F3 front forks.  I saw in your other post that you "willing" to install a K front as you aren't too concerned about braking.  I think that you will find that the stock K front brake setup offers significantly less braking power than your current dual disc F setup.  My advice would be to do the swap in such a way as to keep dual front discs.  Rear drums work pretty well but you might find it easier to swap an F0/F1 spoke/disc rear wheel onto you F2/F3 rear than going to a drum.
