Question Installing built LS3 into FBody, how to do PVC system?

I am installing a built LS3 into my 2001 Camaro SS.

I am using a slightly used stock short block and I might re-use my Pass Side LS1 Valve Cover.

Should I get a LS3 Pass Side Valve cover or modify my LS1 to make it work on the LS3 heads?

What parts do I need to redo my PCV system? What can I reuse? Any pics?

Do I have to use a catch can? Does the LS3 valley cover have a built in PCV valve?

Did a little searching but the info is so scattered, there should be a sticky for the procedure.

Just put a couple filters on the valve cover and ditch the pvc system.

What Do I do on the drivers side, plug it or put a filter on it?

If I plug the drivers side, where do I get the proper plug for it? It's a LS1 valve cover.

I put filters on both sides. Mine has been like that for years, I figured why should I let the engines suck hot air.
