No, many vendors sell a billet vacuum block--Gbodyparts, Kirbans, etc...Kirbans is a bit cheaper than Gbody but theirs has a smooth top; I chose to go with the Gbody one because it has the fins to match the upper intake plenum and valve covers. Make sure to get it with the extra port for the vacuum brakes as they sell billet blocks both with and without it.

None of them have a check valve though; the check valve is on the booster. I circled it in red in this pic (the billet vacuum block is also visible in the lower left hand corner of the picture):
