1 breather, drivers side only? I want to run only one on the drivers side. And keep the cross over tube hooked up in the back.
I already have my Metco breather on there. And tonight, I took out the PCV valve and pluged the intake and tube coming from passenger side.
All you guys running this set up, is it working OK???
I'm just a little concerned.

thats how i run mine and works good, had a vaccum leak and decided to take all that PCV crap out and no problems. And i think you mean on the passenger side valve cover right??? b/c i have mine on the oil filler neck.
I have the single breather on mine and it works fine. The hose from the passenger side valve cover to the throttle body is just a fresh-air intake... when the PCV system is sucking air out of the crankcase, that hose provides a source for filtered fresh air to go back into the crankcase.
I removed the hose, as I didn't want any possibility of the oil vapors going back into my intake and mucking it all up.

yeah i just took all the hoses out except for the one going from the front of the passenger side valve cover to the throttle body, and i got a 3/8 inch hose going from valve cover to valve cover in the back and a screw in breather in the oil filler cap. works great

I put my PCV valve inline withe fresh air tube acting like a check valve to keep stuff from flowing from the crank case to the TB. I'm also running the Metco breather on the passenger side valve cover btw.

Do they make another one for the right side? Or did you modify something to make it fit?
I decided to fab up a crankcase EVAC setup. I will run it on the nitrous built motor. Should help if not eliminate the oil burning alltogether. I have never seen one on an LS1 routing to the exhaust. I know that they give some serious vacuum. 
Catchcan can't save this motor. I have some serious nitrous rings and it is a "blow-by machine".
