Actually, I believe the direction of travel is up through the hose
and into the air cleaner, as opposed to the other way around. The engine
vaccum sucks the crankcase gasses back through the throttle body. If
your '94 was anything like my '96, your stock air cleaner would get
an oily residue on it where the hose attached.
