Even if you go manual brakes, you can only remove the fins to the vacuum pump to disable it. You need it in place to spin the oil pump as its driven by the intermediate shaft. I guess you could get a dizzy from a gas one and hack off the top of it and clamp it in place?
I think the strangest thing we ever had happen with those cars is the fact the radiator fan comes on many times after you stop or park the car from a drive. Hell, some hot summers Ive heard the fan pop on in the driveway for no reason, then go off a few minutes later.
May want to do the big 3 upgrade or at least add some grounds. You see a lot of these cars with a head light that wont light or it goes off and on or is the reverse of the other one. The electrical system wasnt designed the best, but some extra grounds do not hurt anything.
