PCV valve/vacuum port location in our v6's?

I'm having awful idle problems, the car keeps stalling and smelling like firecrackers after I've driven it for a bit so I want to try and clean out some things with carb cleaner and see if that helps. Can anyone tell me where the pcv valve on our v6's is located? I also want to hook up my vacuum tester and read the vacuum, anyone know the location of the vacuum port?

On the diagram below you should be able to attach a pressure guage on any hose going away from the throttle body to test for vacuum. The PCV should be on the valve cover on the driver's side. Diagram shows approximate location.
