Ok so here's where I am now. I went ahead and removed the evap canister...makes getting to those hoses quite a bit easier and it was just the one 10mm nut to remove. Duuuh..wish I'd tried that sooner.
I was able to finally find the valve in the line under the dead center of the driver's side manifold. I have looked right at it 100 times but due to the angle my car is sitting at right now and lighting etc, I just missed the valve. Finally put my gloves on and started feeling around, found it in 10 seconds.
From that valve, the hose runs around to a Y connector just forward of the MAF - the other end of that looks lke it goes in to the air/oil seperator thing. Question is, for the blowout test (for hose continuity), do I want to disconnect back there at all, and if so, do I need to disconnect before that impossible-to-get-to valve, or pull the hose on the other end of that off of the Y connector on the intake? Something else?
