and it was a beotch! Removing the master cylinder and pushing it to the side is no big deal. From sitting in the driver's seat, the 2 nuts on the left that hold the booster on was no major pain with an 18" extension and a 15mm socket. The nut on the lower right near the steering column, kinda hard. The upper right one.....BEOTCH!!! I finally got it off and looked at it and said, " YOU ARE NOT GOING BACK ON!!!", and then threw it away. 3 outta 4 ain't bad and it holds the booster on just fine. Cranked the car up and it idled a steady 1100 rmps and no bouncing. The RPMs jump a little up and down when using the brakes, but that it to be expected. I bet it don't stall out on me no more. Got this booster from an 89 GTA and the check valve was a little smaller that goes to the intake...but I tighten the hoseclamp pretty good and siliconed around the area where the valve and booster vacuum line meet to ensure no leak. I need a drink.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YER LOOKIN FER A COOKIE,.,.,.LOL J/K HAHA ,.,.IM JUS MESSIN WITH YA.,,. HEY IM REALY GLAD YOU POSTED THIS THOUGH,.,. ABOUT HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YA? ALSO DO YOU HAVE REAR DISC BRAKES?

 

Ummmm...took about an hour with the cussing. Longer if I did'nt cus, but I needed to vent frustration. LOL. It was just awkward to get to the top right nut. I coulda drop the steering column, but thats just one more thing to worry about. I put the drivers seat all the way back and fully laid back. Then I laid in it upside down to get at the right angle to get to that nut. Kinda reminded me of putting in the heater core when I was in the seat like that.
To answer the second part...I just got standard front disc/rear drum. Booster works fine though.
