Yep.. I see no need for power brakes if your system is designed right. PB's were invented to help activate the brakes with less effort. This helped women and others work the braking systems easier. It's simply a force multiplier.

My '69 stopped great. You just had to push harder to get it to stop faster. the joke was:

car guy: How fast does it stop with manual brakes
me: As fast as you WANT it to stop

Plus I hate clutter and I like the more mechanical feel of manual brakes
