Default PCV Modification: Need Input

I had the PCV system hooked up to an air pump but the pumps keep burning out from continual use so I decided to modify the system ... need feedback to see if there is any danger or problems with what I want to do.

I have the back tubes on the left and right side valve covers hooked together and routed to a small K&N breather filter. The front passenger side valve cover tube is hooked to the back most (bottom) tube on the intake right behind the TB. I put a clear fuel filter in line to monitor the amount of oil going into the intake.

1.) Will this configuration cause any problems?
2.) Will it provide enough crank case evacuation?
3.) Should I install a PCV valve?

Thanks
