Master cylinder change advice Plz.

Hey you guys I would like to make sure that I am not over looking anything when I attempt to do a master cylinder job on my little cousins first car. I have never really worked on imports but I figure the concept is the same. Any ways I was wondering when I go to change the M.C. do I just onbolt the two brake lines and the two bolts that hold the M.C. on to the powerbooster and just pull it out? I noticed on her car ( BTW it is a 86 accord two door lx) it has a resevoir with two wires on the cap. Will the new master cylinder have its own resevoir or will I have to remove the clamp that is holding the existing one on? Also is there a rod that enters the power booster once I remove the M.C. or is the rod on the power booster going in the firewall to the brake pedal? Sorry I have so many questions I am just trying to save her a few bucks (126.00 ) by doing it for her. Any advice or certain things I need to watch out for would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to make things worse than it already is. I just wish someone would reply (hopefully tonight) saying that it is a straight and forward job with nothing too serious to watch out for.
Thanks in advance.
Big Tone.
