There is a hose that connects to bottom of AOS (on that thin portion, the portion which looks like a funnel) and it is clamped, that hose turned 90 degree and connects to engine.

I was able to remove quick connect breather tube very easily, I pressed the top of clip with one hand and pulled gently and it was released in less than a minute.
