Default Catch can question

Damn it's hard to search on this site. There is so much info and too many threads lol. I was wondering if I buy/build a catch can do I need a breather for the valve cover??

I haven't looked a the PCV system on the LS1 but does that line hook up to where you would put a breather?? What about that universal Ebay catch can. Look good and it's only like 22 bucks. I just don't want to get the thing and find out there was a better way. I get a **** load of oil in my TB and intake.

No you would put the breather on the valve cover. You would only do this if you completely delete you PCV system; Like This

Alright so basically I am not deleting the system just re-routing it so the catch can would be there and there would be no need to a breather. Hey man thanks for the help I appreciate it.
