If you want to know if you can leave the brake switch out of the master cylinder the answer is no, it will leak.
If you can plug the hole with something that does not protrude into the housing to seal it the MC should still work, you just won't have any brake lights.
Be aware though the Master Cylinder creates a large amount of pressure when you step on brake pedal so you need to screw something into it or it will just blow out or leak.
You can use an electric micro switch on the pedal itself like the modern cars do to keep the brake lights.
If you want to know if the MC will still work if keep the switch in it then yes, but again you won't have brake lights with a bad switch without using something else.
