A Hydrovac is the name given to a vacuum assisted brake booster. Most T.K's would have had air over hydraulic brakes - but as this vehicle has a petrol engine it most likely has a vacuum assisted system.
It's been a long time since I last worked on a vehicle like this but I think the engine will have to be left running in order to bleed what ever system it has. Also if it has a Hydrovak the hydraulic side of this will need bleeding before bleeding the wheel cylinders. As already stated, my experience of these vehicles is very dated and it's all a bit hazy now. If I was actually there doing the job - no doubt it would all come back to me.
