My SS has what appears to be an electric vacuum pump attached to the brake booster. Typically you would run the vacuum reservoir in line with the vacuum hose going to the brake booster.

I don't have hydroboost, I have a brake booster and that electric vacuum pump is inline before the booster. Mine is a 03 maybe the newer ones have hydroboost. As I see it the only way to run it is inline between the booster with a 3/8 to 7/32 tee for your vacuum modulator.
