Default Easiest place to check engine vacuum

Where is the easiest place to hook up a vacuum guage to check vacuum. Also is there a seperate set of parameters for idle with and without AC on. My 02 z06 with btr stage 2 cam installed runs great and idles fine until I turn on the AC and then it stalls at idle. If I'm driving down the road and turn on the AC and come to a stop it will idle fine. Only stalls at idle when AC is first turned on.
Been doing this ever since cam install and tune (about 2k miles since mods).
Car has arh 1.75 longtubes with high flow cats, btr stage 2 cam and supporting mods, stock airbox and injectors, and dyno tune.

I would think the easiest place to check vacuum would be the hose to the brake booster.

Boost gauge? Map sensor?

Easiest place for engine data is the ALDL.
