Default Clutch Master Cylinder Fluid Replacement

I just got thru replacing the fluid on my '96 LT4 using a turkey baster to suck out all the old stuff & refilled with Prestone Dot 4. It has 17,000mi & was dark brown.
My question: same method for the ZR-1? I don't want to get this started & find out there's a ZR-1 specific wrinkle which I can't handle. I have 23k on it & everything works & sounds fine in that dept. The service records do not indicate the fluid was ever replaced.

The brake fluid is pretty dirty, but I think a proper bleed is the best solution. Have never done one, so think best to take it in.

I also suspect the pads are original & I did have to hit brakes hard once & was not impressed, so thinking about replacing anyway. I've seen so much about pad brands, it makes my head spin. I may at some point take it on a track day, but otherwise, it's really just city/highway miles.

Thx for the help!
