Default PCV Setup - Concurrence/Feedback Desired

So, after doing the research (a lot of conflicting stuff out there) I think this is how I want to do my PCV system, but was hoping for feedback from the 'experts'....



The thought behind this is that the valve covers will be the 'breathing' side of the system holding at or near atmospheric and the crankcase side would be held at a negative dP (lower pressure) being on the suction side of the intake.

The other differences/considerations were to have an oil cap breather filter (came with the Holley VCs I bought) and/or instead of a filter on that catch can, have it route to the intake side (pre "maf" I have in quotes since I no longer have a maf)... which theoretically is also atmospheric pressure. I have a NW102mm DB throttle body, so there is no routing to that 'port'.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I was thinking of doing the same setup. Do you have any part numbers for the catch cans and the vented can?

Thanks
Josh

for the oil separator can (dirty side) I plan to use the new can being produced by All Angles Design.

For the filter can, probably just a moroso or the like...
