I have a very similar story, though with a mildly electronic 98 Civic. For braking, I made an enlarged vacuum canister using PVC from the hardware store. Put it inline with the existing system. No problems. Big help to braking, too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
