Got any good pics? I snagged the hydroboost from my donor vehicle to swap in.

That's about the best I can do, I'm not a photographer by any means and it's rather tight under the hood now.

You can see the little vacuum pump in the first pic. It's mounted to the firewall just above where the brakes bolt up.

Did the plunger rod just bolt up to the pedal inside or did you have to mess with it?

The angle was off to use the stock mount on the pedal. I made a new one about an inch down from where the stock one was and had to come up with a new brake light switch. Not bad, maybe an hour into the hydroboost swap.
