Default Yet another brake question

I have been working on the abs removal for a couple of days now. An hour here and an hour there. I have finished the install of new componets, and bleed the system once already. With the key on but engine off I have perfect pressure. But if I start the engine I loose alot of my pressure. Should I try bleeding them with the engine running? I am able to stop the jeep while driving, but I would like better pressure. Also can someone show a picture of where the have there brake booster vaccumm line hooked to. I used a slot on the intake manifold that was plugged. And lastly, I used fuel line for that vaccumm line, is it possible I need a different hose?

No, I have not changed or checked any brake pads yet. I will pull it apart in the morning if I am not called into work! Also I used a port on the left side of the intake manifold, just back from the intake box. Does that sound like the right area?
