Default Swap valve covers side to side

Hello,

Could be a dumb question but I have LSX 454 and due to interference with my AC compressor I would like to swap the left and right valve covers. Assuming I plumb the PCV properly:

Original passenger side, now driver side PCV tube to fresh air in front of the TB
Original driverside, now passenger side PCV to catch can and connected behind TB

Anyone know any reason this wont work?

Thanks!!!

Heads are ambidextrous. I see no reason why the valve covers wouldn't work on either.

I guess you will still be able to pour oil in it?

You did not say what this was in.

Yeah, it wont be as easy but I will be able to get the oil in.

This is going into a 71 Camaro, T56 Magnum, Chassisworks 4 link in the rear and coil overs up front. Standard Pro-Touring build

I should really start a build thread...

Thanks!!!
