Do the vacuum wipers work?

I was mulling this over as I personally find intermittent wipers are a must have feature. If the vacuum unit does not work I would replace it but not with a stock electric AMC unit.

The Javelin does not have hidden wipers, making it far easier to use a "modern" replacement. And if that mount plate is flat, that much easier to use something like a 1985-94 S10 unit. This plate could be cut by an online laser outfit, along with the swing arm.

If this setup does not exist in the AMC world, producing a kit would be a nice way to offset the cost of the car.
