Default PCV Location?

I think the hose to my pcv value is split, but I wanted to make sure thats what I'm actually looking at, and not something else. As you can see in the pictures its split at the elbow, so I'll just replace that elbow part. We've got four thirdgens Camaros and there definitely a whole lot easier to work on compared to the 98.

Thats just a 90 degree plastic elbow.
The PCV valve is on the passenger side, below the throttle linkage inside a rubber boot.

PVC is Polyvinyl chloride.
PCV is Positive Crankcase Ventilation.

thetubing runs from the driver side valve cover behind the intake manifold and around to the passenger side where it splits off into 2 like you showed. most likely the picture you showed is split. when i replaced mine the whole hose behind the intake was completely cut in half. i have no clue how it happened my engine bay is now alot less messy

Yes, that is part of your PCV system....

...but this post does not apply to your car:

The pic in that post shows the location of the '99+ PCV valve. On the '98s, the valve is in a different location, laying on the intake right next to the valve cover directly between the #4 and #6 fuel injectors.

Thats true. I had a '98 engine. Notice the #5 piston laying on top
oh and I typed too fast and mis-titled the picture name icor1031.
