Default suspicious vacuum leak with AC on and applying brakes while coming to stop.

1992 Buick Lesabre with 3.8L.

Driving down the road with the air conditioning on max high. As I come to a stop, i hear this air leak that sounds like the air brakes on a big truck. I dont hear it as loudly on normal ac while braking, but its there.

Does it hiss only when A/C is on and braking? I ask because a hissing noise when braking can indicate a dying brake booster. But if that's the case, it would happen whenever you brake, not just with A/C on.
