Need advice on a mtb fixie conversion

I recently got a 94 stumpjumper m2 fs frame without a fork and i want to convert it into a fix speed. I understand that 700c wheels will fit no problem besides the rear stays being 135mm, so i will probably have to build a wheel for the rear. The front is where i have a question...i know that the brakes wont reach the 700c without the mavic adapters, so i was wondering if i can use a road fork without messing up the handling too much. I think the frame was made for a suspension with little travel...something like 35-45mm? The reason that im considering going with a road fork is because i have a cf one on another bike that i dont mind transfering over. so what do you think guys? any input is greatly appreciated...(flame suit on...just incase)
