Whalp, sorry. Thought it might have been one of those "so easy it got overlooked" situations. Anyways, subbed in case this happens to me when I do my swap!

A vacuum pump or different booster will be needed to eliminate those possibilities (not enough vac or faulty booster).

Curious..... did the kit mention any changes required or recommended w/the pedal ratio or travel?

It said to drill a hole in the brake pedal arm 1" lower than the stock hole if my arm only had one hole. So I did.
