The vacuum line coming off the back of the surge tank (upper intake plenum) where the stock sender connects to... it also runs to the cruise control actuator.

The "T" at the top, nearest the windshield. coming off the bottom is the only hose which connects to the back of the intake plenum. You may tap any of the red lines in this image except the single "U" shaped one.
