Are you trying to say the pcv is going to be a bitch to replace? Well we'll see how good my patience is...
I just read through the steps and the only thing I don't have is a torque wrench when reinstalling the manifold. Is it imperative to use a torque wrench or can I torque it with my hand?
I will torque it in a star pattern though.

okay so I started @ 11 this morning and am just "finishing" around 6pm. Only came up on a couple snags. The brake booster vacuum hose had to get cut up a little to get the manifold loose, and I don't know where two manifold bolts have gone... i'll see in the morning.
I'll need this hose soon, the skinny one that goes into the fat one. It's brittle. does anyone know the part #?

DONE! Car pulls strong in all gears but my lower back is killing me from hours of bending and manipulating bolts...
Thanks for the replies, Boxpin and Rspi especially!
I've heard that you can make or buy a breather box? Can anyone inform me where to go to do this?
Hope you've enjoyed my progress so far. Stage 0 complete.

I was planning on just spraying degreaser, soap, and water on a small rag and wipe around every nook and cranny which would probably take about an hour or more.
No biggie, I usually pop my hood, and inspect from left to right, top to bottom looking for anything fishy which takes about 20-30 minutes usually so i'm used to standing over my engines for long periods of time. I feel I bond more with it that way.
Yes I found the bolts, one was in the car with the others, and one was hiding neatly behind the alternator/power steering pump or box bracket, again, slowly inspecting every inch of my motor is what I like to do.
Here's a final daytime pic:
