Break booster upgrade

[devon lock]

I want to get rid of my huge vacuum break booster. Can I upgrade to the new style that runs off the power steering and gut my vacuum pump but still use my stock power steering pump?
Or does anyone know of a small aftermarket booster/ master cylinder that runs off power steering and still use factory breaks?

Are you trying to save weight? Increase brake power/capacity? Or both?

Mainly save room, the stock vacuum booster is huge and I want to clean up the motor compartment, if it increases power/ capacity great. nice to get rid of all vacuum stuff. Next year i will go full disk.

The hydroboost p/s pump has two return fittings on the canister. You can tee the lines together instead. That's what I did on my F350.

Alternatively, you can change over to a 24valve p/s pump for the extra fitting. Or swap the canister only (gm hydroboost pump canisters supposedly work too).

Keep in mind that the interior HVAC doors are vacuum-actuated.

If you still have any interior, that is...
