More Hydroboost Questions

I am working on a 73 CS on a highboy frame. I got a HB for the late 90's F350. Today I picked up a master cylinder for a 79 F250. I removed the push rod from the 73 and it fit nice. The holes in the master cylinder had to be opened up 1/16th on each side to fit correctly.
I'm planning on using the PS pump from the F350 which will have the 2 return inlets and I am going to buy new pressure lines just to be sure I get the correct fittings. I want to improve the lines with braided later but figured i should sort out the fittings and make it pretty later.
I'm using the stock cooler lines that are mounted in front of the first crossmember.

Should I also use the extra finned cooler, reservoir and have I chosen the right parts????

I know ,I know, I'm a worry wart. And thanks for your thoughts.

Ok the master is fine then. If you went discs the hydroboosts master would of been better as it holds more fluid for rear discs bigger calipers and has a 1 3/8 piston for more push of fluid in each stroke.
