Bob,

No difference.

The Vac Booster aids in the application of the brakes, but in the case of
the TR, when the "bleed" process is taking place, is essentially non
functioning (engine must be running for the booster to function).
The hydraulic pipes are where you are trying to purge air from, and this
is essentially the same on any hyd. brake system, Power or Not.

I was under the assumption though that all 6's had power boosters as
original?

Also if a PO has made changes to the original system, there may be some
differences as to how you would approach the process, but in essence
start at the furthest point from the MC, and work toward the closest
bleed screw. Making sure to keep fluid in the MC so as not to pull any
more of that nasty "air" back in.

Good  Luck
