Other than the calipers, is there any other item that has to be bled
after installing a new master cylinder and new calipers?

If you fill the master cylinder reservoir and bench bleed it before you
install it then there is no need to bleed the calipers, except to flush
the system (good SOP). If you didn't bench bleed the master cylinder
then you will have to bleed it now, to evacuate all the trapped air in
the cylinder. Use your tool and open each of the line nuts coming from
the mc, one at at time starting from the back, until the fluid is bubble
free, c;pse the nuts. Check the pedal, should be solid. If it doesn't
firm up then bleed the calipers again. Make a bleed bottle. Use an empty
gatoraid bottle and drill a hole in the cap. Find some clear plastic
(vinyl) hose that fits snugly over the bleed screws, enlarge the hole in
the bottle cap to fit, drill an additional small breather hole in the
cap. Pour some clean brake fluid in the bottle. Submerge one end of the
hose beneath the fluid level in the bottle. Connect the other end to the
bleed screw. Open the bleed screw and either use your tool to pressure
bleed the system or simply pump the pedal slowly, by hand. You don't
need to shut the bleed screw between pumps since any air pushed out of
the system will not travel back up the tube as long as the open end is
submerged.
