No power brakes

So i have just recently aquired an 89 SC.

It has no power Steering or brakes.

I was told the PS was a line, no big deal, install looks like a bitch but is doable.

PB on the other hand i have no idea.
I have a constant ABS light and Rare CEL.

Car shows ~19-20 Inches of vacuum at idle most of the time. but after sitting at a redlight for a little while sometimes idle will drop to ~750 rpms Vacuum will drop to 5-10 inches and idle will start to flutter; with the car almost dying.

a throttle blip will shoot rpms up, smooth idle out, and return vacuum to ~20 inches.

Any advice on how to procede diagnosing will be greatly appreciated.
I havent had time to scour the forums quite yet, i just wanted to see if this was a "common" problem.
 
I had no power breaks once. I pulled the ebreak up one click to activate the switch on the e break and it kicked the power breaks on. Have no clue why but it fixed it. Thoes breaks work with a eletric pump and a aclumator ball not from engine vac. Its a weard setup but when iy works it works good.
 
never did get anything fixed...

Blew a headgasket.

Ended up driving it about 2 miles blowing smoke. hope i didnt fry the bearings...
