Re: 2 really dumb questions on my 56

MC has been purchased and installed

What do you mean by factory set up, I've never seen a stock assembly as my truck was hacked up before I got it

I put that one in because my floorboards were hacked up were the stock one went but I will use a stock AD Pickup brake light switch when I put the truck back together.

If you haven't already bought the booster and master cylinder I would seriously think about running a hydro boost like DWCSR suggested. With that engine setup it would work a lot smoother and once you drive a vehicle with hydroboost you hate to go back to the vacuum booster. The only thing you would have to change with the power steering is the pump if you even had to change it and add a pressure and return line to the hydroboost.
