Doh! The head I spent all that time cleaning doesn't have vacuum pump holes!

Is the negative pressure in the intake sufficient to operate the brake servo unit if pmp is bypassed

So basically, as long as the check valve is working I'd be ok?

Absolutely. The vacuum pump is there for left foot braking....

as far as the literature I've read. Although, I really don't see what difference it makes with 115hp ;-)

Wothout it, the normal braking action is plenty, just like 95% of other vac boosted cars out there.
