1 breather, drivers side only? I want to run only one on the drivers side. And keep the cross over tube hooked up in the back.
I already have my Metco breather on there. And tonight, I took out the PCV valve and pluged the intake and tube coming from passenger side.
All you guys running this set up, is it working OK???
I'm just a little concerned.

I got the breather on the drivers side. But I also have the small short line still hooked from drivers side to the TB. Is that OK or should I cap that as well?

I have the single breather on mine and it works fine. The hose from the passenger side valve cover to the throttle body is just a fresh-air intake... when the PCV system is sucking air out of the crankcase, that hose provides a source for filtered fresh air to go back into the crankcase.
I removed the hose, as I didn't want any possibility of the oil vapors going back into my intake and mucking it all up.

yeah i just took all the hoses out except for the one going from the front of the passenger side valve cover to the throttle body, and i got a 3/8 inch hose going from valve cover to valve cover in the back and a screw in breather in the oil filler cap. works great

Do they make another one for the right side? Or did you modify something to make it fit?

I decided to fab up a crankcase EVAC setup. I will run it on the nitrous built motor. Should help if not eliminate the oil burning alltogether. I have never seen one on an LS1 routing to the exhaust. I know that they give some serious vacuum. 
Catchcan can't save this motor. I have some serious nitrous rings and it is a "blow-by machine".
