Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder?

Is that what the can looking thing above the brake master cylinder is?

Maybe. What's it attached to? Got a picture? It's impossible to say what it is from your description.

Does it have a clutch pedal? A z-bar? Couple rods?

The clutch pedal.... inside the car..... should be connected through the firewall to a "rod". This rod in turn should be connected to linkage refered to as the "Z-bar". The Z-bar in turn is connected to another rod that connects to the clutch fork that exits the drivers side of the transmissions bellhousing.

This factory setup is "mechanical" linkage that came on all classic Mustangs. Hydraulic clutches were not an option during these years, but can be converted with aftermarket kits/parts. Most modern vehicles use hydraulic clutch mechanisms.... mostly for their smooth, low effort pedal "feel".
