From what I know, that all depends on what tranny you have. Automatics use a PCV valve on the engine, whereas manual trannies don't have a PCV valve. On manual tranny motors, the PCV is ventilated thru the air duct intake with just a hose.

False.
PCVs are on most all cars. You may have gotten fitv and pcv mixed up? Maybe?

OP, you want to place the catch can in between the PCV valve and the IM, no literally but figuratively.
You can also do that for the vent hose if you'd like as well.
