Another possibility is something I've seen on a DeLorean
with a VOLVO PRV in it (I believe from a 260) from a local
owner; he has a vacuum pump running off of the driverside
camshaft, on top of the rocker cover.

I happen to have an old engine from a Volvo 262 around,
that SEEMS to have something similar, but I still have to
check out the engine; it might be a B27 instead of a B28
and in that case I don't think I can use the parts.

Another thing he has is a power-CLUTCH, with a
vacuum booster, just like on the brake. NICE!
Maybe he can step forward and tell some more about
it, as all I know is from what I saw and he told when
I was visiting a couple of weeks ago...
