PVC is the pipe. Polyvinylchloride.
PCV is "positive crankcase ventilation" which is what you want.
It does make a difference. John Hinckley explained it once. Crankshaft spins one way. Might kick up some oil. If it did, the oil mist would go to one side. That's not the side you want going to the carburetor vacuum.
I've always seen the pcv valve and hose to the carburetor on the left (driver's) side, and the hose to the bottom of the air cleaner on the right hand (passenger) side.

He probably has a later model Chevy Engine in the car. If so the PCV is usually located on the driver side on top of the valve cover toward the front of the valve cover. The passenger side has a tube coming down from the air cleaner to the rear top of the valve cover. This tube goes into a grommet in the top of the valve cover to a breather filter in the air cleaner assembly.
John Z is right. It would really help to fill out your profile with some information pertaining to your car. At least a first name would be nice to have listed also. Some members don't answer questions if your profile isn't filled out. In this case you made it very hard for anyone to answer properly not giving enough info in the thread and not having your profile filled out so a member here could go there to see what vehicle you were possibly talking about. We try but most of us that I know are not mind readers.
