Here’s how the 1.5 in my rabbit is set up without a vacuum pump. Brakes are a pain without it though.

Is there anything to support the top of the gear/oil pump shaft from deflecting?

Steve.

Can you add a 12 v electric pump to replace the mechanical one?

The oil pump shaft has one of the gears as part of it and it is a very close tolerance machined fit where it runs through the oil pump case.  There is another oil pump shaft bushing that it pressure oiled near the top of the shaft.
