Looks pretty cool! I agree with Hacksaw on your idle vacuum, what's it say under a heavy acceleration (for testing only, of course) and decel?

I'm not wild about tapping into the brake-booster line. If something shakes loose, you'll have to exercise those leg muscles on the stop-pedal. Find a gentle hill with no traffic. Turn off the engine and coast down in N. Pump the brakes a few times to get rid of the residual vacuum, then see how much effort it takes to stop. Brakes are hydraulic, so they don't go away when the engine quits, just get a little stiffer.

As long as you are comfortable with what it takes to avoid ending up in the backend of a lorry, you're golden.
