Default brake servo pipe to where?

we've just put a rs2k engine on throttle bodies in my bro's escos replica
but what do we do about the brake servo pipe what used to go to the manifold. a mate said that a diesel alternator has a pump on for the vacuum but would one fit? or is there another way? the only thing i thought of would be to tap a hole in the servo end of inlet, would this be ok?
any help much apprieciated

alternator idea isn't a great 1 as the vacuum pump on the back requires an oil feed and a return back to the sump so would end up to much work, either tap the inlet manifold for the vacuum or do away with the servo and run a bias peddle box, but thats even more work so prob just drill and tap the manifold is easiest and best way me thinks

Either drill a hole, or change the master cylinder for a smaller bore one, although it would then be easier, it would lengthen the travel though.
