No master cylinder "needs" to be bench bled before installing.  I've been
working on Corvairs for 48 years and have never bench bled one yet.
The master cylinder bleeds itself as you pump the pedal.  You can see this
by removing the cover and slowly have someone depress and release the brake
pedal.
You can see air bubbles coming from the tiny hole in the bottom of the bowl.
When the bubbles stop, start bleeding the wheel cylinders and you are done.
