what did you do for vacuum routing? it looks like you ran the hose from the pass valve cover to Intake, all the research i did tells me to run that hose from the pass valve cover to a barb on the CAI. and the driver side PCV Valve around into the barb on the front of the intake on the pass side.
This routing is according to us having Truck valve covers, Truck Valley cover and a DBW TB.

i believe mine was as such (granted I have a holley cable TB):
-(dr side) PCV to TB
-(pass side) valve cover to front intake barb
at the recommendation of the tuner, i put on a valley cover w/ integrated PCV (a la LS6), which connects to the TB via a giant loop (in the absence of a catch can). the rear driver's valve cover PCV provision was blocked-off

Mike pulled off the pass side PCV hose & capped where I had it going in. I will run that hose to the CAI as Mike & you guys suggested.

Here are a few other pics showing my updated PCV line. You can't see but it goes to the under side of the CAI. You can can see how low the H3 pan hangs (Too low). Also, be sure you are specific about how low you want your exhaust hang. I am going to have to cut off the collectors & re-weld them to hug tighter to car.

Man that LS sounds great! Nice cars at the show. I wonder if everyone there knew you were the fastest out of the bunch? I would love to see you spank the black Nova with the big block! The fast back Mustang looks good but never did like a coupe of the same year.
Yeah man your gonna have to fix the exhaust! How does the oil pan work out driving down the road? Any scars on it that would indicate its too low?
You should be proud driving the Nova around especially with all of the hard work you dumped into her.

Congrats on getting the swap done! I can't see the video from work, but I'm sure she is a blast to drive. Man, that LH8 pan scares me, though I'm sitting much lower than you are. My exhaust and f-body pan are tucked nice and tight, so my front x-member and ladder bar front mounts are my sacrificial lambs.

I got tired of the gas fumes in the garage, so I capped 1 vent & ran 1 line to fish tank filter. It has a 3/8" opening then goes through some activated charcoal & then vents to the atmosphere. I did not use a check valve, not sure if I definitely need one. I also got a vented gas cap, but it does not seem to fit.

Nice job. I have the same pan with the same concern on my 67 camaro. Now that it is in the car and as of yesterday actually running and driving it will remain for a while. The H8 pan may take a hit though without damage I hope
