Based on John Strickler's response, if one has the guts to start the
job, they may not have them when it's done. :) 

Seriously, though...  I'm thinking of converting mine to a GM
Hydra-Boost to save a little room in the engine compartment, and I think
the master cylinder needs a rebuild anyway.  Somewhere I saw a web page
detailing how someone had done the switch in a Scout.

On the other hand, since I paid $105 for a new vacuum pump on my diesel
engine, maybe I oughta just keep the vacuum booster.. :)
