I scored a Leed rotary vane vacuum pump off eBay the other day. Seller said it had been installed but never actually used. It had a little cosmetic damage to the canister, but I fixed that and will paint it silver to match the car. It's a hefty little booger. It may take some finesse to stash it in an out of the way place. I'm thinking under the driver side front fender. From what I understand, you can mount them almost anywhere with no loss of performance. It came with 6' of hose, so we'll see what works out.
