Default Where to tap boost for boost gauge
I dont have A/C so is it safe and/or enough to take it from the fitting that comes out the back of the manifold that is to feed for the ac that has a "t" fitting

A "tee"

Cut brake booster line add the "tee" in and clamp it all back together...call it a day.



Pep boys has a bunch of plastic tees.

they should have tee's that bring the size down...and or your boost gauge should have come with some kind of reducer.
