Good points. My power steering gives very minimal assist, so there's little difference between on and off. Brakes - I have about four good pumps available in mine, and I can still stop it without the boost too. It does take more effort from me, but the brakes stop the car just as well. I would advise testing it out so you know what to expect. If I know I've used the brakes three times (one more and it runs out), I'll do a quick bump-start then key off again, just to rebuild my vacuum boost.
