Pcv should be located in the rear passenger side valve cover. Breather element should be located in the air filter box.

Edit: I only recommend an OEM, Motorcraft PCV valve. No other alternative since it may allow for more vaccum through the valve. The PCV valve is a metered vaccum leak. I have used several different types. Each performed @ or below value. It's $7 for a Motorcraft.
