Proper manual brake setup?

Looking for some information regarding the right master cylinder, brake pedal and everything else involved with switching from power assisted to manual brakes.

I put a built motor in my 86 and hardly make enough vacuum for my old brake setup.
I pulled the brake booster off and modified the pushrod and remounted the power master cylinder. I didn’t have any major issues stopping but it did take ALOT of effort.

Now I have the truck down again and I need to do it right this time.

Would it be worth it to just get a master cylinder kit from jegs or summit?
Will my brake pedal work fine?
What size master cylinder do I need
