The only other thing you will need to change is the bar tape.
Why?
I've re-used tape on different bars lots of times and when fitting new tape always use the whole length. But yes for the sake of ten quid or so new tape does always look nice.Because a) you will not get the levers off without removing the tape and b) the tape will almost certainly not be re-usable. And even if it is, it will have been trimmed to fit a shorter bar, so may not fit the new one.
