Default Is my catch can setup okay?

Installed my catch can today.
Does this look right?

All I did was remove the pcv hose from the valve to the intake and run a hose from the valve to my catch can.
Then, like from catch can, into intake.

Passenger front of valve cover running straight into throttle boy.

Passenger rear of valve cover still stock running up to PCV valve.

Drivers rear valve cover, Y merged (stock) with passenger rear all the way to PCV valve.

I placed the PCV valve after the catch so it would catch the oil vapor coming out of the can, rather than going into it. The theory being that the can would reduce the vapor that the PCV would have to handle. That was the prevailing opinion about how to do it when I installed it years ago. It might not make a big difference either way.

Op, that's how I have mine set up and I haven't had any issues in 4 years.
