you have a vacuum line that goes to your clutch master cylinder and it sounds like you have a leak internal which would cause the engine to idle rough when you have your foot on the brake... They are somewhat easy to fix if you have the right tools and replacement parts but about 50% of the time its just best to either get a junkyard unit or buy a new one
