Oil CAtch can location Ok i just got this thing and im trying to find a good location for this thing. Does anyone have pics of their oilcatch can in a location other than off the passenger side head or next to the battery? As you can see in my pic, my car still has EGR/AIR hooked up (even with LTH lol) obviously a 98 hence no Traction control lines all over the place. Ideas please. Id rather not get another can but if i have too...

if it were still light outside i would go take a pic , but i was going to put mine by the passanger side headlight , in the little groove thier and run the lines into it...but i settled on putting on on the passanger side head , way easier to deal with if you dont have egr imo

mine is mounted under the passenger headlight. Haven't checked it since it was installed (1 year) since its going to be a PITA to get to it. in the future i will relocate it so somewhere easier to access.
I used a hole saw under the car so I can drain it without even opening the hood.

welp, after it sitting around my garage for some time... ok along time lol
while fixing my running issue, i decided to install my catch can. wound up puting it where my EGR use to be. since i installed LS6 intake, i already had the room, might as well lol.
just wanted to makes sure i have my lines on correct?
this look right?

but other then that, it looks correct right? later im gonna put some steel wool inside the can to add to the oil catching process, but the down and up should assit in the oil catching process for now.
but this is how the LS6 valley pan with catch can should look like right? the PCV is for the turbo install later. its for a actuall turbo trans am so should come in handy later for stopping crank boosting.

Looks correct, but leave the steel wool out of the catch-can!
If you're going to put something in it use something that won't break off into small pieces that can end up going through your engine.
