On 87 it is in the front just to the left of center (as looking at the engine from the front grille) tucked in between the channels of the intake manifold. There is a hose from it going off to the throttle area.
I replaced mine but it seemed to run a little worse, so I put the original back in.

On my 89 with 170,000 the hose was very brittle and leaked vacuum after replacing. Very difficult to get access in there. I wound up cracking the gromet into the intake plenum and the piece fell in.
I had to remove the throttle body and use a heater hose attached to the end of the shop vac to suck the piece out.
