On the SS at least, this is not the case.   In other words, if you're
bleeding the brakes (post bolt mod) only ONE of the master cyl fluid
reservoirs goes down (front one for rear brakes, rear one for front brakes),
not both.   Even after gutting the proportioning valve, it is still two
separate systems.

Definitely a good point to watch for though!
