Default PCV question

I have a stupid question - does an '05 V have a PCV valve? From what I know, it's "integrated" and all we have is the vent from the valley cover to the intake manifold neck.

My setup: FAST 92 with a LS2 90mm TB and a catch can. My valley cover goes to the top of the catch can and the "out" from the catch can goes to the intake manifold neck. The vent on the valve cover is going to an inlet on the intake tube in front of the throttle body. Like this: Sound right?

I'm asking for two reasons: one, I know PCV/breathing can impact the way the car runs and two, I'm losing a bit of oil on a fresh rebuild (with no smoke).

Looks right to me. As far as I know the only LS motors that got PCV valves were the truck motors and they have them on the drivers rear valve cover. LS2/6 did not have them.

I'm actually looking to add and reroute my CB lines. With the Maggie I no longer have the valley port. I have been pulling oil thru and need to figure something out

i have my valve covers tied together with my valley cover, that goes to my catch can, then my catch can goes to my intake.

i actually gained considerable power with my stroker this way.

I'd also like to see that diagram, Radeon. I'm in the same position right now as to how I want to route my PCV setup.
