You have it hooked up correctly if your car wasn't boosted. Let me clarify some things:
1. PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventillation. It is possible for the crankcase to build up pressure especially if you are getting blowby past your piston rings. The port on the back of the passenger side of the block allows any pressure to be sucked out and into the intake manifold in normal operation.
2. Our car DOES NOT have a PCV VALVE. There is no check valve or any other type of valve anywhere on the car. The result is that if you leave the PCV line connected to the intake manifold, you will be pressurizing the crank case with boost pressure.
3. This can be fixed by either running a VTA (Vent To Atmosphere) catch can, or by adding a one way check valve that will let the crankcase vent to the intake manifold but not let any pressure go back into the crankcase when you pressurize the intake manifold with boost.
