rear disc brake question

So I ended up grabbing an 8.8 rear with posi and disc brakes for $140.

Everything looks great, but I'm left with a few questions.

Do I need a new master cylinder since it has disc brakes?

Will I need to remove anything from the existing brake lines?

If I need a new master cylinder what one should I look for? Also will it bolt right up or will I need to do more modifications?

that page is for swapping the brakes from axle to axle but read it it tells you what to do about the mastercylinder I just got done with the same axle swap and I have not adjusted anything yet and it still has decent braking power I got to pull the master cylinder and adjust the stud
