Of course not.
It's a race car part. Race cars don't generaly have power brakes.
If you need it, make it. Drill a hole and tap it to ¼" pipe. Facbricate. That's what racers do.

Just drll and tap where ever you want. You could even do it on a runner, but i wouldn't. Just pick a good location on the plenum that won't be in the way of anything.

Do like RB says... in the manifold's plenum, drill a hole, tap it for a fitting, install said fitting, and hook up your hose.

I did it before when i swapped my Q-jet for a holley on my original iron intake.
It worked fine for me, but i was also pulling 21 psi vacuum.
My new Weiand intake has a 3/8 NPT hole in the plenum.

Just because it seemed to be working doesn't mean it was working properly. I've tried it, the brake pedal was a lot harder and that was with 15 inches of vacuum.

You can get carb spacers with the hole for a vaccum line also, but if your running a stock hood spacers might not be an option.
I've personally taken 3 of my different spacers-drilled/tapped them so I did'nt have to molest the intake.
