Do you need to bleed the master cylinder? I am replacing the brake booster and master cylinder and want to know if I have to do anything special besides bleeding the brakes in the order suggested in the instructions above?

It's a good idea to "bench bleed" the new master cylinder, fill it with fluid and slowly work the piston a few times until foam free fluid comes out of the ports (which go to the solid metal brake lines), then fit the master to the car, and bleed the system. You'll have a better feeling pedal right away using this approach. Make sure to have a pan handy and use eye protection because that fluid can come out uncontrollably on the first few pumps.
