I thought they did, But seeing the FCP site below -It's because of the manual transmission.
I wasn't saying that that's your trouble for sure -it just pops off sometimes. And it had popped off on mine.

my '97 NA has it and it was too hard to get to, so the indy did the repair
The hoses and elbows of the PCV, on both sides separate very easily on my car, and have been a little bit trouble.

Here are the different set ups
