Where you planning on getting your vacuum from , best going electric vacuum pump or belt driven one.
Quite a few series 2 owners use remote servo's but not sure of the ratio.
 
Entirely possible - either for brake or clutch assistance - possibly assistance on both if you so desired - I fitted a servo to SWMBO's D1 clutch ( she has broken her back twice due Osteopenae, and doesn't much fancy a repeat... )

You will, of course need a vacuum "pump" - ( electric possibly easiest, probably ex Audi off the bay ), plus probably a small reservoir and a vac switch to switch the "pump" on and off, as required...

Somewhat different vehicle, but a single circuit ....

Electric vacuum pump triggered off the brake light switch. Be sure to fit a relay in circuit to reduce the load on the switch. Look at Hella U28 or U30 sometimes fitted to Volvos.
 
Again, yes, Mine had one under the drivers floor. I took it off as it was shot and fitted a servo on the pedal box, also I was converting to dual circuit and the dual circuit remote servos were very costly. My Perkins engine has a vacuum pump.
I would not fit it where mine was as it needs to be in clean air, I think mine got wet a lot and that's what did for it.
