Default Valve covers and pcv???

To start off yes i have searched but cant come up with anything...

I have a set of valve covers with no ports for the pcv, i am going to be using a 04 ls6 valley cover with a catch can... My question is since i have no port for the pass. to tb tube, what should i do? Breather? or should i just drill the valve cover and have a nipple welded in?

I do believe that tube from pass valve cover to TB is necessary even with having the ls6 valley cover and catch can, so I'd probably drill and have a nipple welded in, but I'm sure someone here has done it before and can chime in on their method.

You could just drill a hole and use a rubber grommet that can accept an appropriate plastic fitting. That's how I handled it on my SBC with GM Performance "CHEVROLET" valve covers.
