Okay, so I finally managed to:

Vacuum cylinders through the spark plug holes. Once no more oil in cylinders I cranked the motor and a still got quite a bit of oil splashing everywhere causing a big mess.

Cranked the engine a few times until no more oil geysers

Replaced the CCV and it's associated 4 hoses

I did not do a compression test because I don't know how, nor know what it will tell me

Outstanding, and on schedule for Monday, is replace the throttle body gasket then install throttle body, hoses, and air box back in place. Then replace valve cover gasket since it cracked and was leaking and new spark plugs.

Anything else before trying to start it?
