I think it would work.

I am not doing a strict restore and will be converting to electric wipers for safety sake but I'll bet someone here can give you good advice on this.

The double acting fuel pumps work better, or if you really want constant, strong vacuum you can install a belt driven vacuum pump from a turbo Volvo.
