If you are using the truck intake there is a port on the top center of the intake that a hose connects the valve cover to. If you are using a different intake just hook the left valve cover to intake vacuum.

PCV Valve will go in that spot..I have mine with the PCV Valve in there going to one of the Vac Ports on the Intake. The other side goes from the PCV in the Valley Cover(LS6) to the Intake. Soon I'll have a Catch Can in that spot.
