Air / oil seperator on 1997

I noticed that mine did not look like the one listed for my car. The one on it has a horizontal circular top with arrow pointing towards the intake manifold hose. Is this the original seperator?

Clickman that's a great idea and then you can disconnect the hoses to get them out of your way!! Love it!
