Default Crankcase Ventilation on LT1

I have a 96 Trans Am and I'm installing a p600b Procharger kit and got reading in the manual and it was saying to take 1/2 in. hose and route both PVC valves one on the passenger side valve cover and one on the side of the intake manifold next to the brake booster and a vacuum line fitting on the drivers side and to route the lines to the intake elbow and drill holes in the elbow to fix the lines in the intake but looking at other peoples setups I never noticed two hoses routed in that intake elbow. Is there another solution around this other than the one in the manual??

Thanks, mxdirtking

if you want oil allover your valve covers and dripping on your headers do it, I did it for a couple years and just put a breather on the pass side, ran a line from pass vc like pc says to so it will evacuate some under boost and put a high pressure check valve in-line with the stock pcv hose. works great. but under boost it's not evacuating very much.

So you put a high pressure check valve on the driver's side PVC valve and left it in the stock location?
