sure it should have one IN and one OUT i dont think it matters which one. remove the PCV valve next to the TB, and replace it with the catch can, just look at the line and mount this unit somewhere close and run the lines should take a few min... you be happy with it, good luck man!!

does it get connected to the hose that is in the first picture posted? how should i put it inline with that hose? should i disconnect it hook it up to one end of the can, and use the hose given to me to connect to the other nipple on the can and to the niplle that original hose was on? IM SOO CONFUSED! AHHHHH

Inside the "black thing" in the first picture of post #4 is the PCV valve (which you need to keep). I would not worry about putting the "filter thing" in at all. Does your camera have macro mode so you could get some better pictures of it? It almost looks to be just a male/male connector for extending a hose.
You need to unplug the "black thing" from the manifold and run it into one side of the catch can, then run the other side of the catchcan back to the manifold.
The way you run the hoses, and where you put the can, is up to you as long as they are connected in this order. You could get fancy and mount the catchcan over by the fuse boxes l like I did, or you can keep it over by the silver a/c canister.
You will find that the stock PCV system is put together with hard plastic lines slipped inside of rubber lines. You will also find that 3/8" rubber fuel line will slip right over the hard plastic lines and fit tightly without even using a hose clamp. I would be willing to bet that if you pulled that "black thing" off of the manifold, you would be able to pull the end of it off of the PCV valve, which should be a male fitting, and stick it inside the 3/8" hose.
I tell you what, I'll draft something on AutoCAD tomorrow at work so you can look at it.
