---EDIT---- (solved the pushrod issue....)

I decided to start taking things apart to begin the drum bake conversion part of the project. Before I started blowing the lines apart and rendering the car undriveable (rather than just bolting the booster back on) I wanted to make sure the new master cylinder would bolt on. I wasn't sure what I would find with the aftermarket conversion with the power booster and the dual circuit master cylinder. I was able to un-bolt the master cylinder without cracking any of the brake lines and move it forward enough to remove the power booster to mock up the new master cylinder. Good news is that it fits. I was worried about the second set of studs coming through the firewall but in referencing some under hood shots of survivor 62 409 cars from MCACN, that is the way it is suppose to be.

I realized that the power disc conversion eliminated the passenger side line that runs front to rear and replaced it with a front to rear line on the drivers side. Hoping that is an easy fix with just ordering the correct lines and they can be installed with the body on the car. Seeing the correct master cylinder bolted to the firewall gives me some motivation.
