Fitting a T-piece into the fuel pressure regulator vac hose is a popular choice.  Its a nice straight run from there though the bulkhead into the dash then(depending where your gauge is).

Don't forget you'll be reading manifold pressure as apposed to a compressor reading, hence you'll see a vacumm once the throttle is closed!
