Default Non Ls1 question, 91 Chevy Lumina

My gf has a 91 chevy lumina, i was at work when she called to tell me the car is making a weird grinding noise. I get home and the car in the driveway start it up, its got a very loud grinding sound almost like metal on metal, you put it in drive it gets a lot quieter almost non existent. If you press the brake it gets really loud, take foot off brake its almost non existent again but still there. i havent been able to take it for a ride yet to see but there is very little brake pressure when the car on. turn it off and pump it its like a rock, turn it on it goes right to the floor. im gonna check out the master cyl. and brake booster on my next day off( sunday) but just curious what other people think before i can dig into it. thanks.
