Don't you mean 'hard' instead of "spongy"?

Lack of vacuum will cause a hard pedal, not soft. It can also cause idle problems when pressing the brakes.

Power steering is unaffected by vacuum.
On your specific car, sounds like brakes are the only issue.
I would try it without the canister first. If you need it, plug it in later... no big deal.
Good luck
Dave
