Interesting sounding brake system, sounds a bit Rube Goldbergish. I wonder why they engineered it that way? I'm glad it's not mine. Follow MountainAir05's advice and you should be fine. As for the robustness of the system, it's potentially 40 years old and parts can go bad just from the ravages of time assisted by usage, corrosion, and ozone (on rubber parts). If they aren't horrifically expensive I'd investigate replacing the vacuum assist boosters if they appeared at all mechanically suspect.
