The pedal setup in your photo is definitely for power brakes, not manual. You will find a fairly small diameter pushrod going through the floor to the combination booster and master cylinder. If this booster is not receiving vacuum or has otherwise been disabled you will have to push like crazy.

The standard manual setup would have a large rectangular shank on the pedal and the pedal would be higher from the floor. Please do not make any other modifications till this question has been settled.
