The booster will not operate without vacuum. The brakes will work (poorly) without the booster, but unless the line from the manifold is plugged, you will have one heck of a vacuum leak!

Yep...thanks for the clarification A-D.
I found the diagram in the opel photo gallery Vacuum Weber one-way Distributor - Opel Photo Gallery) when I was looking for a pic of the intake manifold. Unfortunately I didn't catch your comment on the original posting.
