Default So confused....PCV issues

Ok,

So I finished my head/cam swap last weekend. Did not know I had to update valve covers when I did it So now I need to figure out what to do with the holes I have in the 99+ valve covers. The pcv system from my 98 setup will not work. I am very confused on what I should do here. I've tried the search, but it only seems to get more confusing. What do I need to do? This car is my DD and I need it up and running again! I really don't want to pull the intake again so I think the LS6 is out of the question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

get a breather from EPP and get rid of all the PCV lines, i like that setup better than i did with my old lines and crap, its on EPP's site under the appearance section. it just replaces the oil cap and elbow. pretty good looking too.

You can run a breather setup on the valve covers(cheap & easy), or you can go the dealer and buy a 99+ pcv setup.

If you show your car I recommend you do the PCV system. Breathers will make a mess under the hood after a track session.
