Default PCV system/Catch can install

I have a 2004 LQ4 that I am rebuilding and swapping in to my 85 Chevy Truck. I want to do the catch can to keep oil out of the intake and use the LS6 valley cover.
What else do I need to add to the list?
1.Catch Can (suggestions on which one)
2. LS6 Valley cover
3. Hose and clamps.

I route the fresh air from the TB, 1 hose from the valley cover, and 1 from the valve covers(connect the pass and driver side together?)

I have the oil catch can from Elite Engineering which I like, but it is not one of the cheaper options.

Here is one many threads on catch cans.

You can block off the valve cover hoses and just run one hose from the valley cover to the catch can, then from the catch can to the back of the tb.

I paid $38 for a nice one off of eBay....here is the link
