Brake Booster Question 120-130

Rebuilt the brakes! And added a new Lockheed remote booster (may not have been the best decision)

After driving for a about maybe 40 minutes, my front brakes begin to not release anymore (they've got new calipers, pads, hard lines and flex hoses).

I'd like to unhook the remote booster to see if this may be the culprit. Is it just a matter of unhooking the vacuum lines and plugging them up (well, rehooking the hose from the intake manifold back to the flame guard thing on the block.)

I'm guessing the pump on the booster will still move - sending fluid to the front brakes, but with no 'extra' pressure.

Make sense. Thoughts?
Pat.
