Default LS6 valley cover mod, for better oil control?

Doing -installing the LS6 valley cover mod,

Is anyone still using or installing the LS6 oil valley on there LS1 for better oil control,
if so does it work and where can i buy the parts/

My car is procharged and i am using a amw catch can , the can get some oilin it and some oil residue makes it past the can and down to the procharger inlet hat,
I was going to install a see through small gas filter and replace it every 1000 miles or so to take care of the oil residue, i figured during my forged LS1 rebuild to maybe install a LS6 valley cover too.
let me know what you guys think
and do i have to get LS6 valve covers , or just cap off mine

if i go LS6 valley cover , does it still vent out the motor pressure as good as the stock LS1 , valve cover vent pvc does? and can you sue both, and tie them together to one line into the catch can or is this over kill?

Is there a difference between LS1 valve covers and LS6 valve covers?

Thank you very much, looks pretty eazy, I guess with my set up (Supercharged) procharged i would connect that LS6 valley cover port to my existing AMW catch can and then down to the Procharger inlet hat, With this set up i do not run the PCV valve,

If i am wrong please let me know

Since this is also in the Gen III Internal section, no need to duplicate it here
