Default !HELP QUICK! PCV hose nightmare

So I was checking around the back of my intake today. I was planning on doing the AIR delete tomorrow morning. Well needless to say I discover this PCV hose issue. The hose was hanging onto the valve cover by a very small piece of rubber so I figured I would just pull it the rest of the way off(really don't know how it was still on there anyways). Here are some pics, what is my cheapest route. At this point i've considered a breather, and also I read a thread where a guy bought some new hose and a T-fitting and fixed his. What happens if I drive with it like this for about 30mins? I need to get it to the shop at my dads house.

should be ok to drive it to the shop

I went with the LS6 valley cover that has an integrated PCV.. It's a cleaner and more effective setup than the LS1 PCV system.

Yeah in the future I would like to do something better, but for now I just need to get it fixed.

3/8" heater hose and whatever fittings you can find at the store that will work. If you have to tape things together that will work fine until you can get the proper parts.

Yeah I grabbed some 3/8 fuel line and a some fittings. Got everything back together and all is solid now. The PCV system will outlast the car. lol
Here are a few pics, also deleted AIR while I was in there. Little bit of welding saved me some $$$$ for the AIR adapter plates. SES came on the 2nd time I started it.

Well it looks like I didn't get all the **** for the AIR pump out. According to this link w/ pics there is more stuff I can take out. I'll get the rest 2mrw when I change my oil. Here is the link, look at pic 3,4,5 compared to mine.
