Where to connect a Vacuum Guage for testing???

In the haynes manual, it goes through a procedure to check the vacuum pressure in our engines to help diagnose problems. However, the picture that they provide when describing where to hook the guage up to the engine is shown on the 93-94 SOHC engines. So the question is: where to hook up the vacuum guage for testing?
Thanks in advance

Ok, thanks guys. In the Haynes manual pic, there is a spot on the actual manifold that they connect it at, I didn't know if us 4g's had something like that.
As for the brake booster - Should a T-fitting be used so that the brake booster can be reconnected to run the test, or is it ok just to throw the guage on one end and not reconnect it? (If that is unclear, let me know)

not necessary for t-gauge unless you are going to drive the car while checking vacuum readings.

So just hooking up the exposed end of the brake booster to the vacuum gauge will produce an accurate reading? Thanks for the reply.
