Default PCV on the passenger side valve cover????

Does the 4.3 have to PCV valves one for each valve cover? I am missing the passenger side and need some help identifying what part it is and making sure I get the right replacement part.

I think gremlins got into my garage and stole it, as I meticulously kept my parts organized. . .

Anyway, I feel kind of dumb asking, but you folks around here are pretty straight shooters when it comes to identifying parts.

Thanks

Well the best name I found for it is PCV hose. It connects to the air intake system on top of the throttle body (plastic cover on top).

The pcv valve is in the driver side valve cover. The tube that runs from the back of the intake hat on the top of the throttle body to the passenger side valve cover is called a fresh air make-up tube. It is part of the crank case ventilation system, but it is wide open from the valve cover to the intake duct.

Since it walked off, and I need to replace, am I going to a salvage yard?

EDIT: Appears salvage yards don't have them. . . already gone before they get them in. Looks like dealer part and pricing. . .

EDIT II: Okay, in my ignorance. . . the tube I sought is connected to my air intake. . . piece found, thread closed. . . thanks for the help.
