I can answer that question and no it does not. The solutions have been 1) electric wiper motor, 2) block off the balance valve and just use the manifold only if you want to keep the vacuum motor.

A double action fuel pump could be used as Hudson or Nash did in their version of the engine or as in older cars. There are several that have been mentioned as possibilities. I don't know if his car has the oil pump conversion but a poster from Australia has installed a vacuum pump which is integral with an alternator. That setup is used on some Japanese cars but I forget which one he picked.
