Don’t use a hammer drill on brick.

Use a variable regular drill and go slow. Masonry bit and keep the hole clean.

You don’t want to crack brick you can’t find again and/or that old.

I'm not sure about this one. You usually want the hole a little deeper than the anchor to collect the remaining dust that's left from filling voids between the anchor and brick/concrete. I've had success both ways and failers both ways. One thing I've found helps is some anchoring epoxy squirted in each hole.
