I used the Ford pump as the only source of vacuum when I first did the Diesel swap(diesels make no vacuum). The pump seemed to work fine but one of the downsides to using them is that they loose efficiently at high altitudes. We live at 5280' and quite often drive over 8000' where these pumps are limited. I chose to build a hydro boost system which works well but also has it's own drawbacks during engine failures. Nothing out there is "perfect" for every situation. It's best to find the balance you are comfortable with and go for it. Just my way of thinking.
