I've been busy the last few days, here's the answers to your questions:
1. It should bolt up, I rechecked and found it was a 97 ranger master cylinder. It had the see- through reservoir and ports on the DRIVERS side, but it is more expensive, the reservoir probably does not come with it if you get it at a parts store and the fittings are metric.
2. You're right residual valves for disc brakes are not needed for firewall mount MCs, I was told to use them by a guy who usually builds early model hot rods. But I believe they are used in drum brake systems regardless of MC mounting height.
Does anyone know if the drum brake residual valves are built into the combination valve on 4 wheel manual drum cars?
If so I'll setup my system like this:
