I've seen many photos, identifications, & modifications for the UIM throttle body coolant & EGR ports, but what is the port that the arrow is pointing to in this photo?

That's the PCV port from the rear head. It goes through the throttle body on Series 2 engines, and to the external tube that leads in front of the throttle body on Series 3 engines (both access pre-throttle blade air after the MAF).

Here's an old GM description of the PCV path on both versions:

(note, it shows that port going to front head, but I just confirmed with 2 sitting in my garage that it goes to the rear one... doesn't matter, general flow pattern operates the same: positive crankcase pressure is drawn past PCV valve to intake manifold/supercharger to be burned off, and back-filling that air is metered by the MAF just ahead of the throttle blade)

Thank you for the diagram & explanation. I've been trying to figure it out for quite some time. I found a couple of photo's that also help to make sense of it. I see a port on the front right side of the plenum where the throttle body attaches that I think is the one you're referring to. I also found a photo showing the crankcase ventilation channel for the PCV on the LIM surface of the head. It all makes sense now, so I definitely appreciate your help.
