Default Oil return line IDEA for STS

I am not going to run my oil return back into the cap... I am going to run my oil return into one of the nipples for the PCV system and put breathers on it... I dont have emissions where I live... Anyone see a problem with this?

Default My Idea

A second thought:

I purchased set of stock valve covers, and I placed the (second) Pass side cover on my Driver's side, so now I have a way to run a PCV port on the DR side (Tee'd into the PCV line from the Intake) and I have a second oil filler neck, so the issue of dealing with the oil return line (when adding oil) is solved too.

Just an idea to consider as well...

With the set up from STS it runs back to there any way.
