Default PCV help on a mid-engine setup

I'm in the process of getting an lc9 5.3 ready to run in on an engine test stand before installation and have a question on PCV routing. My valve covers have one outlet?inlet tube on each and there is also a vac. tube on the front of the valley cover (ls7 ?). This engine is converted to the carbed intake with the MSD 6012 controller, Texas Speed cam, double roller chain and sprockets, all the DOD/AFM delete. My biggest question is how to route the PCV system. I'm not really wanting to add an oil seperator if not absolutely necessary. Any assistance appreciated.

Use a separator & there is unlimited PCV routing info in the Gen III external engine section. Best of luck.
