Anyone every convert to manual brakes?

I have a project car and basically will be replacing the whole system. I was looking at a manual brake setup. Is it comfortable for street and even some road track driving?

Older car doesn’t have abs, just looking at some options.

Yes I know I need a master/caliper/proportioning valve al configured to be compatible.

    I believe you, but how much heavier is a brake booster really? They’re pretty much just a big hollow air chamber with a diaphragm inside. I’ve never actually compared a vacuum assist booster master cylinder to a manual master cylinder before side by side but I can’t imagine the booster weighing more than like 5lbs. (Which yes on a very light car matters but for most cars it’s not something anyone is gonna notice)

    Edit to caveat:

    Hydraulic brake boosters (yes they exist) I’m sure weigh a lot more because of all the fluid inside.
