I'm starting to think I happen to be having more than one problem at the same time.

I know my booster is bad. I am going to have it rebuilt.

I have plenty of vacuum to run all the systems in my car until I press the brake. Since I have a bad booster I lose almost all vacuum and some systems start to fail until I take my foot off the brake.

I do not notice oil an any other line except the one going to the shutoff valve. This is leading me to believe that the shutoff valve diaphragm is bad too!

Does this seem likely?

I took the main vac line off of my vac pump and while it was not wet with oil, there was some black residue. Is this an indication that in all of this my vacuum pump is ALSO having a diaphragm issue?

wow, to many things all at once. And just for fun, I thought I'd add that my heater core started leaking today. You can now congratulate me, I am DEEP in the MB club now! YIKES!
