Question Rolex Corvette Ls7 PCV question

Hey All
Have a ls7 going into a 69 Camaro.This was a rolex backup engine.Its been dynode and broke in.All the pcv ports are plugged (valley cover,valve covers and throttle body)They told me valve cover breathers would be fine for street application.Just want to make sure breathers are going to release crankcase pressure.Not looking to blow any seals.Thanks

Works fine for me, I have one in each cover. Not sure about your pollution laws, we have none for cars 25 years and older...

Mine is wet also and I'm going this way. I don't want all that oil in my combustion process. I'm looking for a vacuum pump as well for some more extra ponies.

So everything is blocked off (intake ports,valve cover ports and valley cover port) and you only have 2 valve cover breathers?
