any disadvantage with a exhaust vacuum crank case vent? ok ive been doin some research and i have a bullet muffler so i dont have much back pressure. could i use my exhaust as a vacuum and run this via a T into both valve covers with a filter of some type to catch the oil, and maybe a one way valve just to be safe? would there be any disadvantages? and this is a lt1 if it makes a diffrence.

The vacuum signal would be ruined if you put a catch can inline between the valve cover and header. The header mounted evac systems dont pull much vacuum therefore any inline restriction would kill any benifits of it.

Yes, that would work if there is enough room. All you need is something to keep the oil from reaching the vacuum hose and being pulled into the exhaust system.
I would get some more feed back on doing this with 02 sensors before pulling the trigger, when I ran this set up it was on a 69 Camaro.
