So far I have yet to get a straight answer on this...

I have a 67 Camaro with front non-power assist disc brakes. (Also has rear drums.)

If I were to convert it to power-assist (i.e. Vacuum booster) what would that entail? Could I just add the power booster to my current disc/drum master cylinder and hook up a line to the manifold vacuum... or is there more to it than that?

you would have to eplace everything in orser for things to work correctly. all the brake calipers, cylinders , master cylinder and so on are designed to work nonpower booster. The master cylinder has a larder bore so the pedal is easier to push compared to power asist booster. Master cylinder with powerbooster will have smaller bore size wich will cause high system pressure for better braking. The booster aids in push on the pedal, so you don't have to worl as hard pushing down on the pedal. It is a matched system, everything needs to be changed to work correctly.
