Yes it is possible, you will need to connect the pipework via a "t" piece into an existing vaccum pipe.
As for the wiring, just hook it into any switched live.

A popular pick up is the vacumm hose that feed's the fuel pressure eg, just a simple 'T' off that is normally ample to feed any gauge requirements.

I can get a pic of mine. I've got + and - running through a fused wire to the battery. Not wired in at mo as it only powers the light to see it at night.
