Vacuum gauge movement when in gear in idle, normal?

When getting in gear in idle (600 rpm) I am seeing very slight movement on the vacuum economy gauge, not too much but it is there. Is that considered normal? When not in gear in idle the gauge is maxed shut. Or should I be looking for leakage?

It should be steady. Something is going on if it isn't. I would do the usual checks of vacuum lines, connectors, and the injector seals. This is well-documented on this forum.

I guess I had better redo the injector seals and insulator seals since I've had them off quite a few times since replacement.
