For the power brake booster if it has a bracket with it, I'd take the actual booster off and use it as a core charge at a parts store and get a new booster. Then you can bolt it up to the master cylinder and instant power brakes!

before you turn in your orig brake booster install the new and insure that it is the correct one. make sure that your push rod is of the correct lenght (you'd be surprised how many of the auto parts sales clerks think that since they can change thier own oil that they are mechanics lol) also I would advise you to replace the master cylinder while your at it.
As for the shift linkage can you feel the indentations as you shift or is it sloppy as a $2 hooker?
If its all sloppy then it could be any thing from a bad connection between the column and the trans to bad bearings in the column for the shift linkage.
If is firm than look for a thread of wire that has a clip attached to the end of it this thread is what controls the shift indicator. it attaches to the loop on the column that rotates with the shift lever.
I'm assuming that the trans is in working order
