'80's mtb missing it's canti brakes, need advice on what to replace them with.

Hey everyone, I just picked up an '86 Nishiki Colorado () today for $20. It's in nice shape but came to me missing it's brakes and levers - and wheels and front derailleur. My question though is about the brakes: can I use pretty much any cantis of the era? I'm planning on buying them used on CL or eBay, and can I use any brake handles that arent brifters? I'm not trying to match exactly what the bike came with when it was new, just get something decent that does the job. Thanks a lot.
