Message ports (2). Remove that hard metal line by undoing the front hose then pulling it off the rear hose. Unclip the harness wire, just be careful not to break the clips (if you do break one, use a zip tie to fix). Once harness is loosened use some bungee cords or similar to gently pull it up out of the way.

For the passenger side, you'll need to remove that green metal bracket from the plenum, un-clip the various connectors and zip tie then move the whole assembly out of the way. With the harness connectors undone it will be easy to move around. Just be sure not to mix up the connectors - fairly hard to do too.

BTW - Been many years since I did the PCVs with the plenum on, so going by memory.

TIP: The PCV hoses can be very stiff due to age. Easiest to just cut them for removal. Be aware they both have a metal restrictor at the half way point so don't cut there. I used a survival saw on the driver side due to space limitations. It's just a piece of wire with cutting teeth that you pull back and forth to cut. A few $$$ in any good sporting/hunting store. Worked great too!
