Second, I've changed the engine and now have a bit more cam that's barely making enough vacuum for the brakes. If idle isn't up enough, the brake pedal can be an issue. My concern is having enough vacuum for both. I am surprised Pontiac didn't make them electric in the first place. Even on my '63 they were electric from factory.
Not positive but l don't think your vacuum level will have much effect on the hideaway operation (if everything is in place and leak free) because of the vacuum can that holds vacuum.
Pretty good troubleshooting guide here-
