Vacuum pulled by engine

Replacing the vacuum tubes for the lights on a UK version 1967 S3. I have found some nice tygon tubing. It is quite flexible. Does anyone know approximately how much vacuum, the engine will pull at max power? IOW, is hard tubing required?

"Max vacuum is actually at idle,"
Think not , Max Vacuum is actually on the over-run , when the engine revs are higher yet the throttle closed ?

You are correct, throttle is closed but engine is rotating faster...
