12 Volt vacuum pump problem

i know its slightly off your topic, but any consideration to converting to manual brakes?? when i bought my car the PO had the same thing, same setup. I couldn't stand hearing the vacuum pump running every time i came to a stop or just tapped the brakes plus it was an eye sore in the engine bay. the final straw was when the fuse popped and had to make it back home with no working booster. converted to manual brakes and haven't looked back. and honestly, on these a-bodys i think i prefer the manual setup. might just be me...
