If it were me, I would get one each of the billet breathers and put them in the front and use one as the oil fill. Then get braided covering for the hoses to the TB and manifold. You shouldn't need a catch can with those breathers, and you don't need the LS6 valley pan either.

If I do it the way you just said, and used the breathers your talking about (I know which ones you mean) then the tube going from the throttle body would go to one of the breathers, the tube coming off of the manifold (which is the pcv itself) goes where? The driver side breather? And thanks again.
Here are the part numbers (for the plain one) to help you out: DS use Billet Specialties #20120, PS use Billet Specialties #21120 with a hose to the manifold connection, plug the TB connection with a vacuum cap.

This makes it simpler and cleaner because you will only have one hose and not have to run a hose all the way across to the DS. The billet breathers with no tube or PCV would work fine for a fresh air inlet (vice connecting to the TB connection). Make sense?
