There's a port on the end of the manifold. That's where it goes. Replace it with a silicone vacuum hose if you want - no need for an elbo, but watch for kinks and put a small clamp on it.

That is the P0172 line, at least that is what they should call it. As Sommerfeldt said, it goes to the port on the end of the intake manifold and have it in place before you put the manifold back on. It is impossibly tight to get to it unless you have a diminutive daughter with tiny hands that is a decent mechanic.

Are you in the middle of servicing the PCV? If not, you need to. The oil trap looks just awful.

I'm not sure if I have seen this here but when I rebuilt my alternator I realised the access to the PCV and intake manifold was probably good enough to do a PCV without removing the intake manifold.

Of course, removing the alternator on my 1999 was no picnic either
