How comes there's not a sticky for a vacuum brake conversion????

I was hoping there was a sticky for a vacuum brake conversion but no....?

I am looking for conversion info...like...

If you use a standard G body master cylinder and brake booster....i.e. would a m/c and brake booster off of an 80 Malibu would work...

If I need a check valve for the vacuum line feeding the booster....and where to get one...

How well would the car stop if I just ran a manual brake set up (no booster)....

If I would have any issues leaving the underhood wiring for the PM switch and motor disconnected once the swap was completed....

I am not asking anyone to repost but if someone has a good write up I'd like to see it. I am considering converting to vacuum for simplicity, and cost. Thanks.

Of course trying to run a number is fine if that is what you want to do but beware if you walk on the edge sometimes you fall off.
