"intake hoses" on LS2

Ok, maybe a bad title but I'm not sure what to call them. PCV lines, vacuum lines??

Anyway, I put a GTO intake on my TBSS LS2, can someone verify my hose connections?

1. The barb on the valley pan is capped.
2. The barb on the driver's side of the TB, has a hose to the rear of the driver's side valve cover.
3. The big barb on the rear of the intake to my brake booster.
4. The small one (for HVAC) is capped.
5. The barb on the passenger side of the TB has a hose to the passenger side valve cover.

Seem right?

And this thing doesn't run a PCV valve, right?

Thanks.

Magntik...I'm doing the same thing as you. I haven't been able to confirm the hose routing as you have stated. The TBSS valley cover doesn't have the connection for the vacuum line behind TB. I don't know if its as simple as attaching Driver Side valve cover to that spot on passenger side of intake or not. The passenger side valve cover connection is to the air intake forward of the TB. What I decided to do is just buy the valley cover that has the PCV connection...attach the preformed hose from my car intake to it like it was designed. I will cap off the driver side valve cover. The passenger side valve cover will attach forward of TB on the GTO K&N CAI I am using.

Where do you plane on buying that from and do you have a part number for it?

Well...I stand corrected. I guess I should have said "Mine does not have the connection..."

Here is the cover I am buying P/N 12599296:

I never took mine off, partly because I read there was "nothing" under it so to speak and partly because the gasket from the dealership was almost $50.

So I guessing mine looks like that and I should run a hose to it, huh?
But from where?
I didn't get a preformed hose with the intake I bought, where does that one go?
