The amount of engine vacuum generated will remain the same if you switch to a hydroboost system.

The engine is the vacuum source. Whether or not you have a vacuum or hydraulic style brake booster has no bearing on how vacuum the engine can supply.

Yes. As previously mentioned, the engine creates the vacuum, not the brake booster. Is there a problem with your vacuum booster system that's causing you to switch to hydroboost?
