Take everyone else's advice- call Motorhaven, and install it in the drivers side manifold.

The " boss" in this case, is mearly a nice flat spot, which is convenient to drill and tap the manifold, not a pre-drilled and tapped hole.
When you drill and tap this, you are working upside down, and 98% of the chips are going to fall in your face,
1% will hit the floor and maybe 1% will somehow manage to not fall down and stay in the manifold. 
A shop vac will easily pull out any chips which may possibly remain. For extra peace of mind, you can stick a magnet in the hole to help gather up stray chips. Then you can start it up with the hole open for a few seconds to "blow out" any residue. Those extra steps will easily take care of any chips which may remain.
When you drill the pilot hole ( small drill bit ( 1/8" )) just try not to push too hard when you punch through the back side which will also help reduce the chips getting inside the manifold.
Enjoy your guages...
