I need tips on how to replace the PCV valve

[buck45]

93 5.0 E4OD; I want to replace the PCV valve but it's in a very hard-to-reach location. I may be able to get the old one out but I don't think that I can get both hands back there to reconnect the hose to the new one. The other end looks like it's bolted into the back of the intake manifold. I'm thinking that I may have to un-bolt the other end and just take the hose and all out. Is this the right approach or is there an inside trick on replacing it?

You've put me on the right track. The re-route looks like it will simplify PCV maintenence and enhance the functionalty of the PCV system. Base on the photo in the link and because of the drilling and tapping, to keep filings, etc from getting into the intake, I'm assuming the manifold needs to be removed. Probably a dumb question but I just want to be sure. Thanks for your help.
