Default OCC install trouble

I am having some trouble figuring out where exactly the OCC goes. It looks like from the FAQ on this forum that the line runs from the PVC to somewhere on the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side.

When i look at the car, however, it looks like the line from the PVC runs under the manifold in front of the motor over to the drivers side. I don't see how this works out unless i am supposed to re-route the other hose that runs across the front of the engine.

He says it all quite well, with pictures. Just follow the dots, shouldn't be too hard.

The PCV goes into your intake manifold, BTW.

Also the fuel hose i bought is harder than hell to get on to the brass fittings that go in the filter. I am wondering if i need to get different hose so i don't bust something when i try to put it on the PVC.

It it supposed to be very hard to remove the hose from the PVC valve. I can get the hose off past the little rubber fitting but trying to pull it directly out of the PVC feels like i am gonna break the whole thing off.

Try putting a small amount of vaseline on the hose and one the fitting... It usually works pretty good and the lubricant wont hurt the engine... Just dont soak it, a little should do the job...
