Several years ago I obtained a "NOS" Equus 9000-B cruise control unit,
via eBay, and installed it into my '85 manual trans Westy.  I love it!
It is similar in installation and function to the Audiovox CCS-100.  I
installed a vacuum cannister at the same time so I don't know how well
it would perform without it.

Just about any of the old "Universal type" cruise control systems can be
adapted to a manual vanagon ... unless they were designed for automatic
transmissions only.  None were designed with a rear engine in mind so
the kit's wires must be cut and extended to go to the front.
