Default brake servo and abs 2wd

i bought a cossie and dropped another engine in but the boy i bought it off for some reason took the abs loom out, im not to bothered about the abs in all fairness but i was told i need to power the vacum pump on the servo to get the pressure up. how would i do this? there is alot of places to plug in plugs and ive got a live and a earth comeing from just bellow the pressure tank. so is it just a matter of putting the live to ignition live?

this is the only thing i need to do now to start driving it everyhing else has been sorted at last lol

NO it is not just a case of a live to igntion, it absolutely must go through the pressure switch otherwise it will explode.
How are you going to go about the MOT without a functioning ABS light as all FORD check procedures for the system to check the light etc are detailed in the MOT manuals for when it is tested.
