Default Boost Gauge Help!!!!!!!!

I have one quick question about the boost gauge. I have installed my boost gauge on a 99 T/A, but I am going to install my friends boost gauge on a 97 T/A, V8. Since they are two totally different engines, where should I tap into for the boost. On mine, I tapped into the brake booster, but that was way to complicated and hard and all my friend wants is for looks. So if anyone has the easiest way to tap into a line, that would really be appreciated. Pics also help!!!
Thanks,
Jason

Everything is already installed except the tube. I sorry I didn't mention it is the boost/vac gauge. Since he has the LT1 motor, where should I put the "T", basically the easiest location to tap into.
Thanks again,
Jason
