Default New/Existing Diagram for Catch Can (Stock LS1)

Hello,

I just ordered a RevXtreme catch can for my car.

Obviously there are many different ways to route the PVC system on LS motors (either due to different stock designs, aka LS1 and LS6 differences, or due to the way an aftermarket catch can system is installed due to application.)

Here is all I am asking for: Is there an already existing diagram for the way I want to install my catch can someone can link me (I searched), or can someone go in MS Paint real quick and make one up? I'm just confused on how to specifically instal the catch can for MY set up.

Here is what I have:

-A 99 Camaro, stock LS1 and PCV system, bolt-ons only.
-I don't want to run a breather as it is a bolt on only car, and someday MIGHT see a cam swap, but the car will never see anything over 400hp.
-The catch can has a BUILT IN PCV. So I don't want to use the stock one that is already used (even though it says I can run both in the directions, but I don't want to after further reading.)

Any body have a routing diagram for my scenario? Much appreciated!

On a totally irrelevant side note, it looks like the drain plug on my brand new RevXtreme catch can is freaking stripped! I just tried to remove/unscrew the drain plug and it's jammed/stuck. God, everything I purchase lately needs to be returned

But anyways, any help would be appreciate.

Ok I figured it out, thanks everyone.

One last question though: The connection on the REAR of the passenger valve cover (not the front connection that goes to the throttle body); do I cap that off, or not?

I'm in for this. I need to see if I have mine hooked up right. It's definitely catching oil but the car still smokes at WOT.
