booster/Master cylinder question

I have to do a rear swap from drum to disc. Now i know need a new brake booster now because mine is bad. when i swap do i really need to change the master cylinder/and booster? I got a new prop. valve so thats good to go but does the booster and MC need to be swapped as well.
The reason i ask is because i need a new booster ASAP and the rear swap will be done in late fall/early winter and im looking up boosters and they have packages @ rockauto.com of boosters/MC for drum and set for disc.

Keep your master cylinder as it is correct, unless it's bad or something.

Unless the booster is bad leave it alone.
