Question 4 wheel manual disc brakes?

just looking for some experienced input here.

right now I have power front discs and rear drum brakes on my big block '69 Camaro. Even with a vacuum canister, it's never produced great vacuum because of my cam profile.

So i'm wondering if i went with manual 4 wheel discs, would the car still stop good or would it maybe stop worse than my current set-up? I also started thinking about this because I like the idea of a cleaner firewall without the booster and vacuum lines.

it's been so long since the car had manual brakes, and it never had discs all the way around. I just remember, back in the day, with manual drums it used to be a SOB trying to stop at the end of the quarter mile (and that was only high 12, low 13 second times with a small block)

anyone have some good input for me?
