replacing shifters/brake and FD

I ride an old (early 90's mt. bike) with 7 speed RD. I rebuilt the bike last summer, didn't replace the RD, FD and shifter/brakes levers. My bad. Well the rear shift/brake slowly died but I was able to purchase one on ebay. I think I want to replace the front shift/brake as well as the FD. Can I use any 3 speed FD and shift/brake combo out there that fits my frame? In my rebuild I went to a 48 large ring(from a 42) My current system BARELY makes the shift. It is maxed out. What do I need to worry about. Thanks Charlie
