Default LY6 - Vacuum port???

I just picked up a 2008 LY6 6.0 from a 2500 Chevy pickup with hydroboost brakes. It does not have the vacuum port on the back of the manifold that I have seen in other posts. Am I missing something obvious or will I need to make a mod of some sort to get vacuum for the power brakes on my 79 Toyota LandCruiser?

Theres a plug in the middle if the back of the intake has the orange/red oring. Thats the vacuum port plug. Remove the plug. The earlier vac. 5.3l nipple should work.

Thought that might be it, but didn't want to make an expensive mistake if I was wrong. Thanks!!!
