I wouldn't do the ls6 pcv conversion, not worth the money. Just get a good catch can like the rev extreme version, it's about 80bux-ish. Helps to reduce the chance of detonation too from recirculated crankcase vapors and oil entering your intake manifold. AMW cc are great too, but don't think they make em anymore

I did both. It looks much better without the ls1 pcv hoses in there and was very easy to do! FYI all you need is the ls6 valley cover which only costs 69.99 from PACE performance. Thunder racing gives you the hose as well but that is not needed if you are going to do a catch can too!

Here is the system I copied exactly!
