I couldn't get that link to work...just kept thinking, so I don't know their price.
Roger it's not too bad of a setup even buying all the components yourself instead of the kit. Usually they build a lot of profit into those kits and you can save a bit of money by sourcing some of it all yourself.
I'm sure you seen me telling others this but I have an information packet I put together with lots of text, pics, and diagrams outlining what the Hydrobooster is and what it does.
It'll paint a clear picture as to what you need to put that system in your car.
If you want I will email you the packet but I'll need your email address again, I haven't used it in so long I don't remember it. Just PM me your email address and I'll send you the information packet and I'll help you find all the parts if you want to do it yourself.

Yeah the way I usually suggest to people will cost around $350 and that's even with buying a new master cylinder. The lines can be made by ordering parts from Summit and home assembled. I love when vendors put everything in a kit but I found you can save close to $300 every time by doing it yourself. I'll get that information kit sent to you ASAP.

Actually after doing it a few times I learned that with some very long extensions and a U-joint at the socket you can get all four nuts off from the driver's floor without removing any dash panels.

I've got a better way. Just strip the interior down to the fiberglass and steel, then the bolts are right there & easy to remove. For once I was at the right place at the right time.

Ive done the booster 2x now, once vacuum and once hydro.
1/4inch ratchet with about 18-24inch extension with a U-joint swivel to your socket. Just remember, I think it's the lower left bolt from the interior side has 2 nuts on it. Youll remove one and the booster still doesn't come out.
Dont forget the 2nd nut 
I removed the drivers seat both times.

When I work under the dash for almost any length of time, I remove the driver's seat. It doesn't take long and it is much easier to get in and out. It is getting hard for me to get enough light and correct focal point in my glasses lined up. Sometimes I cannot tilt my head back far enough.

Once you get the booster out...no matter the method, the best tip I can offer is that you push the four Hydrobooster mounting studs through from the inside. Just reach under and slide the studs out the holes into the engine compartment. Then you can slide the Hydrobooster onto the studs on the engine bay side, and tighten down four M10 shoulder nuts. The studs have shoulders on the inside and hold against the inside of the firewall like a wheel stud. It's SO much easier to tighten the nuts from the outside than it is to fool with them from under the dash.
