Default master cylinder and power booster q?

hi, on my 70 i took my master cylinder off and my power booster was filled with brake fluid! (i don't think it's supposed to be lol) if i use a suction pump to get it out how much do i hafta get out? is it ok if theres a little left in there? i also have a master cylinder form a 71 meteor that has a bleed screw where the side front brake line goes and the front line comes out the bottom. i should be able to jsut plug off the bottom one and use the side eh? thanks i was gonna give it a whirl tomorrow or the next day when i have time. thanks

Definitely not suppose to have fluid in your booster.

arrgghhh i need the booster rebuilt? i ordered a master cylinder the one i have is a little diff and its only 40 bucks for a new one. but the booster'll be damaged by the fluid? i tried getting it all with a suction gun i think a new booster is costly but if i gotta, i gotta eh? could i get away with syphoning as much as possible maybe? i had thought that the fluid was leaking out somewhere in the driveway hehe but i guess not. the sucker was filled pretty full, i was like what the hell??? when i've had leaks before on cars it was always a line or wheel cylinder this is new to me. dang oh well thanks, my 68 is goin in for a safety on thurs!!! hope she passes! kinda pumped up to have sumthin cool to drive for the summer.
