The factory booster should be fine.If you're going with a 5 speed,you may want to install a Mustang booster because it's got a smaller diameter and eases the use of a firewall adjuster for a clutch cable.

The TC has a hydraulic booster integrated into the antilock brake system. Unless you're planning on keeping the antilock (dunno if it's possible if going to carb) you'll need a new booster and master cylinder
