I have no pictures with pointers, but I believe that it'* integrated into your intake manifold. My guess would be on the non-TB side.

It'* near the alternator under the plug wires.

you forgot to mention that its hell to get out and even more hellish to get back in

Well, what happened to me over the summer: part of the valve assembly disintegrated upon removed and a piece fell into the intake, where it was mounted.

A manifold pull (and subsquent gasket change) later, a small marble-sized chunk was pulled from an intake port in the head.

i didnt have to, just got a pair of those locking pliers and pulled like hell, the trick is getting it back on and the tube connected properly, theres absolutely no room in that area

p.*. it helps to use a bit of petroleum jelly on the outside of the pcv valve so it can slip in easier. did wonders for me

ok, now I might be blind but I can't find the PCV valve anywhere on the engine. I looked everywhere on the engine including taking off the alternator. Is there any '89 SSE owners out there that can tell me what side of the engine it'* on? The only place I never got a good look at is the firewall side do to being a real pain to work/look back there.
