Looking from the front of the car where is the PCV located? Left bank?? I see what looks like a vent on the left bank leading down the front of the engine. No conventional PCV...that I see..

On my 98, it was on the passenger side running parallel with the intake. It was kind of hard to see at first since it's kind of an 'inline' configuration...

"Conventional" If you mean a pcv sticking in a grommet in the valve cover with a rubber tube running off it - no. Its the same pcv valve but its totally covered by rubber and its in a line with a bulge in it a few inches from the the throttle body. All the rubber comes apart, peals back, and the new valve can be installed.

It's easy to see if you take the right (passenger) side plastic cover off the engine. It just pops off (no fasteners).

In the picture below you see 2 hoses and one wrapped electrical line all together coming out from under the Fuel Rail Cover. The PCV line is the bottom hose of those 3..
