I'm assuming that the master you have is a disc/drum master. Yes? If so and you are going to run disc/drums, you will need two residual pressure valves (10 lbs for the drums, 2 lbs for the discs, plus a proportioning valve.

If you are running all drums, then you will need two 10 lb residual pressure valves, probably not a proportioning valve (again assuming a disc/drum master.)
Yes, I'm running disc and drums. Forgot to mention that I'm running firewall mount also, so probably won't need the residual valves. Isn't that more for master cylinders that are low and possibly under the caliper level? Or should I run residuals anyway? I've always thought that the large chamber on the master cylinder was for the disc brakes, but was recently told by someone that I was mistaken. Needed to confirm....Thanks
