Can I use a disc brake master cylinder without using the booster?

Doesn't matter. There is only 1 brake pedal for automatic cars, and 1 for manual shift cars. Drum/Disc pedal is the same!

I will start looking at the pedal link itself.

There is a difference in the pedals on older cars for power vs. manual brakes. Reason is that power brake pedal travels more. The newer cars had two different positions on the pedal to connect the rods from the MC/booster. I forget which is which, but I think, the lower one was for power, upper for manual. A manual MC usually has a retainer for the pushrod and a deeper hole for the pushrod to go into than a power MC. You don't want the pushrod to come out of the MC when the pedal retracts! I've made pushrods and used both, but I generally use a drum MC with manual disc brakes, just removed the residual pressure valve from the front outlet as noted previously.
