Can I measure boost here?

I am new to the boost scene and I am trying to figure out where to hook up a guage. Can I hook it up to the fitting that I have labeled "boost" in this picture? I know that I have a hose going to it now but that will be removed.

Looks like GM thought is was a good place for the map so it should be fine.

What is the thing getting the vacuum off the smaller tube coming off the back of the manifold?

yes, in the "T" one hose comes from the AIR system and the other is for HVAC. I plan on eliminating the AIR hose and make a hose to measure boost there.
