I want to replace the fuel and PCV valves but I am unsure where they are in the engine compartment. Is there anywhere I can find a layout of the engine compartment that is accurate?

The PCV valve is a small plastic right-angle pipe located in the rear (firewall side) valve cover, on the passenger side end of the cover.
It can be removed by hand.

The fuel filter is located underneath the air filter box, it is a black metal cylinder, mounted vertically, about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide with pipes mounted to the top and bottom. The lower is a 14mm flare nut, the top is a 17mm banjo bolt.

It's located in the intake manifold under the throttle body, Follow the radiator hose from the drivers side to the engine. The hose is then connected to the thermostat housing which goes under the throttle body and behind the exhaust pipe. 
if you have small hands and the right tools you can get it out with out disconnecting the exhaust pipe or throttle body. 
Good luck and i feel the pain. Keep me posted.
