Short answer is it helps keep oil out of the intake...

I need to check mine to see how much oil it has collected in the last 5K miles.

Lol I kno I need to check mine as well. I tried experimenting with the air oil separator but that filter element they use is to restrictive

Mine collects a shot glass worth of oil every 1000 miles. Adding the catch can eliminated the smoke problem I was having, so it was well worth the small effort that it takes to install.

Take your throttle body off and wipe you finger inside the intake snout - it'll be self explanatory... Catch can keeps intake from getting filthy.

How's the swap coming?

If you have HP tuner where you can readily modify your tune then go for the tb swap otherwise you night have some issues for plug and play. Also giving that the tb opens up in reverse of the ls1/6 tb so you might go into reduced power mode. Ibwould be working on an adapter if I were you just in case.
