No, No, the hose that I have the breather on is the one that used to pull air out of the Throttlebody, not the one coming off the intake. I put my hand over the filter and pinched the hose......It, didn't do a damn thing.

And why is nobody paying attention to the air/oil separator? It is designed to get the oil out!

Depending on the filter medium, and where you read. Some companies call the oil/air, some call them water/air. If the filter is one for oil, it's the correct one. Heck, I'm not a filter medium ologist, but I'll bet that most of them are the exact same with a different label. Oh and the important part: it works, and it works good and it works RIGHT.

I just run beather filters on my LS1.
I have 2 in the back where the stock PCV lines run from, and one in the oil cap. Drilled it myself and stuck a breather in it.
When I had the PCV, I was going through oil pretty quick, and I noticed the TB and intake manifold had a nice coating of oil in them, which I didn't like.
The oil cap breather smokes a little on startup, but besides that I haven't noticed oil coming out of any of the other filters. No smells of oil burning, either.
