Default Oil return line IDEA for STS

I am not going to run my oil return back into the cap... I am going to run my oil return into one of the nipples for the PCV system and put breathers on it... I dont have emissions where I live... Anyone see a problem with this?

Default My Idea

A second thought:

I purchased set of stock valve covers, and I placed the (second) Pass side cover on my Driver's side, so now I have a way to run a PCV port on the DR side (Tee'd into the PCV line from the Intake) and I have a second oil filler neck, so the issue of dealing with the oil return line (when adding oil) is solved too.

Just an idea to consider as well...
