Default Noob question, stock PCV routing

Ok so I have a set of valve covers that one have ONE nipple on the pass side. So I have 2 hoses for the PCV system:

1, goes from the nipple of the VC to the nipple on the top of the TB (there is no valve in this one, it's just a tube)
2, goes from the nipple on the PASSENGER side of the LS1 intake to PCV valve on the back of the DRIVERS side VC.

Does this make sense? I don't plan on running a catch can or breathers. I ran breathers and NO PCV on my blue car and loved it, but this isn't my car i'm working on. does anyone forsee any problems with this routing? I'm only accustomed to the LS1 setup where there were 2 nipple on the valve cover.

I'm alittle confused about the routing you are talking about. So you want to delete the tube running from the driver's rear to the passenger rear then up to the front passenger side of the intake and just run one straight from driver's rear to the intake?

Why not just do the LS6 PCV conversion and delete all the tubing running from the back? I just finished my swap yesterday and took about 1 1/2 hrs, plus its nice to get rid of some of those extra tubes. Also the 1 nipple on the passenger side sounds like it was made for the LS6 PCV set-up.

Fresh air from the top throttle body to the drivers side nipple. Gases from the engine from the passewnger side nipple to the pcv and then to the port behind the TB on the intake.

Here is masterfully created MS paint picture showing how I have it now, Red line goes from Valve cover to TB and Green goes from Intake to Valve cover.
