I did a 98->99+ valve cover swap & my valve covers had 2 fittings on Pass side & 1 on Drivers side. If you're doing the LS6 valley anyways, I wouldn't worry about your new valve covers not having those fittings, because you would plug them anyways...just need the one going from pass side to TB... did you see the writeup on http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=18 ?

I'm doing the same thing on my 98, going to go with 01-02 valve covers with the matching valley cover and get rid of the nasty looking hose assembly, still going to run a catch can though.
