Yes.  In fact, it is the only one you can see with the dash put
together.  Look down on the floor forward (FIF) of the pedals.  Look up
a bit.  See the clutch master cylinder mounted there vertically, with a
hydraulic pipe out of one end and a braided brake fluid supply hose on
the other side.  The brake master cylinder is located directly beneath
the fluid reservoir.

The clutch and brake master cylinder share the same fluid reservoir.
The hose on the right side of the reservoir goes down to the clutch
master cylinder.
