there should be rubber inlets for where the harness goes into the car. Just poke a hole threw that and there are plenty of vaccum lines in the engine bay . You can use the brake booster hose which is right above where the line needs to go threw the firewall .

ok use a hanger and poke it threw on the drivers side and im talking about the brake booster which u can google a pic of . its located on the drivers side right above where u need to poke threw the firewall. U can tap into it and you wont have to use that much hose.

if you do hook up your vacuum gauge to the booster line, make sure you put it before the check valve, you won't get accurate readings if it is on the booster side of that valve. Best place to tap into for the gauge would be the line leading to the FPR.
