Resurrecting old braking systems. 120-130 1966

Any words of wisdom on bringing old braking systems back to life on a car that sat for a long time? After flushing system, replacing very slightly cracked rubber hoses and putting a very high pressure..like a sustained panic stop...really stomp on it and hold the pressure, there is no leakage at the disc calipers or wheel cylinders, and a very slight dampness on the master cylinder... and the brakes perform well...including handbrake...

Should I rebuild the calipers and wheel cylinders...and what is the consensus on rebuilding vs. replacing on master cylinders...

Thanks

John H.
