Ok. So I was looking at the lines on where to do this.. is it the line connecting the PCV valve on the VC to the manifold?
Also.. that line running from the PVC valve > intake manifold isn't it supposed to split somewhere or is it just a dirrect line?.
Ok. After reading a post.. I think I got it..
You can see the pcv valve/line below the one I'm holding. the line I'm holding is coming from the back behind the battery tray but I cannot see where. and seems to run somewhere on the manifold/front left of the engine. Is this the right line?

Yep. That should be your brake booster line. Haven't looked at my car to be sure, but it looks like it.

3. To find the vacuum line: look behind your battery and you will see 2 electrical connectors. just below those connectors you will find the brake booster, the large black metal cylindrical thingy, you will see it. on the left front of that you will see a 3-way splitter, there are 2 smaller hoses connected to it, and then a larger hose, probably 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter, this is the hose you want. mine was on the left side of the splitter, but i dont know if its that way with all. pull it off and your engine rpm's will shoot up.
4. Slowly stick the hose into the can, if you stick it in too fast your engine will die. i only stuck mine into the can maybe an inch or 1 1/2". the engine will start to stumble, if you think it is going to die then pull the hose out a little. my engine never did die once all of the seafoam was gone so i just stuck my finger on the end of the line and it died. i let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and took it for a drive.

Should I pull the upstream o2 sensor? or will it be fine?

it should be fine. Seafoamed one of my first gens a week ago and it is running strong!

Ok. My car has been bogging down and been a bit jumpy lately (Bucking/lurching) I replaced my CPS (cam position sensor) since it was going bad (code popped every week or so) still bogs a little but is better. Bought NKG Iridiums to replace my old plugs and some new wires. gonna seafoam tomorrow and change the oil, plugs and wires hoping for the best

Just let it suck up the seafoam slowly. Don't submerge the vacuum line in the seafoam or the car will stall.

don't put any in the valve cover. Seafoam breaks down oil.
