Maybe not, Jesse.  From the site that Rusty posted, the electric booster 
is only around 3lbs and is just clamped inline with with the intake.  If 
there is room for one under the cowl, it may be as simple as the air 
pump and a relay.  It could be complicated if you wanted to add 
circuitry to deduce that you're taking a little too much from the 
battery, or some kind of time limiting circuit.   You'd lose the weight 
of a NOS bottle and control valves (have no idea what the weight on all 
that is), but you'd also loose that little pressure gauge that tells you 
how much 'oomph' you have in reserve.
