On the GTO we used a vacuum pump ($20) from a newer mustang grabbed from a junk yard that worked quite well but we used that on the factory 11" booster. Dad ran that setup for several years before finally just going hydroboost.

I for one also like manual brakes as there really is no issue that can crop up with them. As long as the master bore is sized properly and the rod ratio is correct. I've daily driven cars for years with manual brakes and perfectly fine with that.

Where the hydroboost comes in for me, or proper working power brakes in general, is that other people in the family drive these cars and manual brakes end up becoming a one person driver (namely me) as no one else wants it.
