it seem there is no one here vouch for it all right will keep the current system
and do some adjustments like oxygen senser stand alone system
and do some drilling to the air intake for a hose or two

The problem with this experiment is that the Bosch K-Jetronic injection in a continuous injection system, not sequential. So, there is no injection timing to adjust, only the richness.
neat is it not

Make sure you do not burn your valves....
It is also pretty easy to adjust the richness with a #3 Hex key, but rough idle and hard starting will be an issue. I guess if you have an on-the-fly switch it should work. Just use premium since you'll be running extra hot.

I'm still not clear on what it is you're trying to achieve here? Inducing a lean mixture on an application not designed for it doesn't magically make an engine more fuel efficient; combustion temperatures rise, oxides of nitrogen emissions increase - as do hydrocarbon emissions as a result of misfire, power output drops... At best you have a poor running, inefficient engine - at worst you have a damaged and/or eventually destroyed engine.
Building a more fuel efficient engine requires decreasing brake specific fuel consumption.
I might be off base, but it seems that's what you're trying to do. If this is indeed the case, I'd suggest a little more research into the combustion processes, and the influence the mechanical design of internal combustion engines has on it. The amount of manifold vacuum an engine develops doesn't correlate to its fuel efficiency.

you all got me wrong
i am trying to run the engine with a mixture of petrol and hydrogen
could you tell is there an opening to the air intake i could tape into
