Mine is hooked to the vac line pictured above the fuel inlet, which looks capped. That one is manifold vacuum, which pulls vac even at idle. It doesn't seem to affect mine negatively.

In all honesty it doesent matter. GM swiched to a ported source to lower emmisions @ idle, cheap but effective cure. Some engines run better off of a ported source usually the ones with small cams or engines that pull a good amount of vacuum @ idle. Engines with larger cams that dont pull alot of vacuum tend to run better off manifold "full" vac. Try them both and see which your setup likes.
