Default Pcv questions

I’ve been building my car for a year and just finishing it up. It’s a 98 camaro so came with the perimeter bolt valve covers. I went with 243 heads, so Can anyone give me some ideas for pcv routing? Preferably without buying the ls6 valley cover but if it’s necessary i can buy it also. Thanks in advance

I run the rear drivers side port to the clean air on the throttle body then the front passenger side to a catch can ( air compressor dryer/ oil separator $15) then to a pcv valve and then to the intake.

What valve covers are you going to run ?

I use an air compressor filter/oil separator as a catch can.

I’m gonna run a factory 99-02 set. Is there any difference between the year models?

Nope, all 99 - 02 are all center bolts and the same valve cover

what kinda hose did you run for yours? Will 3/8 fuel hose work or do I need to use something different?

Vacuum hose is technically different from fuel hose. I read that it comes in "only /16ths" sizes. And of course is more rigid to withstand collapsing vs internally pressured like fuel. But it probably doesn't make much of a functional difference unless you have a really really high vacuum.
