Instead of vacuum assist, you have hydraulic assist power brakes - the hydroboost is driven off the power steering pump.
Now that you've swapped in a gas engine in place of the diesel, you may want to also swap in a conventional master cylinder and vacuum booster, just to simplify things for yourself.
