Oh, I see, your trying to shave the fire wall and I assume do a wire tuck. Hmmm... Seems pretty ballsy to want to completely remove the brake booster. Never changed one either. Not sure if it can be relocated or not. Thats what I would look into if I were you.

The brakes could be boosted with an electric booster, and you could get rid of the (larger) pneumatic one currently on the firewall. Depending on the master cylinder you use, you will probably have to redo all the brake lines which is anywhere from fiddly to a huge PITA, but definitely do-able. To get rid of the brake master cylinder on the firewall would be quite a trick, and you would have to have a totally different style of brake pedal.
