You could do it to just one if you like, but its recommended to do all three so it does a deep clean on your motor. But to answer your question, yes you could.

Yep, I believe it's a greenish cap that you pop off. But it will be hard to keep the car idling with such a large vacuum leak.

I attached a pic of a Brake Booster along with what the Vaccum Line location. Its not off of a Monte Carlo but Brake Booster look almost all the same. It will be located on the driver side on the firewall

You cant actually pull the vaccum off while its running and it wont stall, only way it will stall if you dont give it some air. You'll hear it starting to stall, when it starts to hesistate give it throttle until it is all gone out the bottle. I always do vaccum last.

Np, it probably wouldn't hurt for me to do this when its time for my next oil change. motor only has 80k miles on it but it doesn't hurt

anyone else here runs seafoam through the fuel rails? its the most effective method but you will need a fuel injector kit to do so.
