If the brakes are in good condition you shouldn't need one, you are more likely to lock the wheels using a servo on such a light car.
I used to run one with over 300BHP and never felt it would benefit from a servo, just use good brake components and pad materials.
The issue you have may be packaging too, the brake master cylinders are often very close to the engine, so you may need to use a remote style unit if you do go down that route.
I'd advise against one personally.

Not intending to pile on 
But, run ours for over 30 years and never felt the need for a servo. As commented, it would likely be a tricky one to get right both in terms of balance and packaging.
Ran ours for at least 20 years with the drums at the back and Cortina discs and Girling calipers up front. "Upgraded" to 4 pot fronts on bigger discs and discs at the back but really, it made little difference to the brake feel - it'll lock up when needed without too much effort but the brake feel is excellent.
Converted to rear discs simply because I was fed up of the drums going out of round/grabbing at low speed/light braking.
Probably the most highly rated upgrade to the standard braking system is the AP Racing tandem master cylinder.
