Been having some idle problems but not too bad. So that hose that goes from the intake manifold to my right head into the PCV valve. Barely tugged on it and the PCV valve just pulls right out of the head very easily. Is that normal?

Yup; kinds depends onyour definition of "super easy". It shouldn't fall out if you pick up the motor and turn it upside down, but it shouldn't resist a pull either.
