Is there a question here or are you sharing your pain with those of us who've been there, done that?
The PCV piping was probably already shot before you started this project-they all get hot, turn brittle then break just like yours did.
You can do one of two things:
1: Get the GM replacement piping, 12590632, $81.29 at partstaxi.com.
2: Do the LS6 PCV upgrade. More money, more work but a waaay better method of doing it: http://ls1howto.com/index.php?article=18

Removing some of the ridges on the underside of the LS6 intake will let it clear the stock LS1 coolant lines. I chipped them off with a sharp wood chisel.

Ya stuff some rags into the ports. Some foamy engine degreaser, a gasket scraper and some elbow grease will do the job. Don't forget to remove the rags.
BTW, anytime the intake is off and you're doing other stuff, the intake ports should be stuffed with rags. You'd not want to accidentally drop something into a cylinder
