Hard to tell. Does your driver cover have a pcv valve?
Basically do it like i said but when you T the two valve covers together put your pcv valve after the T.
That should be sufficient. You can route that to the side of the intake also if you want and then route the front pass cover outlet to the catch can, out of it and to the tb as well.
The issue with the front outlet is its just an open tube so the only thing keeping the oil mist down is the valve cover baffle. With a pcv valve on the back outlet you are metering that air and it will not push as much oil mist there, but the front then is unmetered and the airflow will normally take the path of least resistance on that and go through the front so you would need to filter it.

I just noticed that the valve covers I went with doesn't have a rear passenger side vent hole, I do have a set of valve covers that have the rear hole. Is there a huge positive use of the other set of valve covers?
Thanks, this is my first time dealing with pcv systems, I don't mean to be a nuisance so please forgive me lol

sorry to be a bother but do you think you could upload a sketch or find a good one online, just so it's easier to map out? I know many others will find it very helpful.
thanks

for around stock power you can keep the stock pcv layout
keep pcv valve in driver rear cover
connect driver rear cover to intake manifold vacuum (either side)
for pcv fresh air supply and blowby vent, connect passenger cover to top of the throttle body port, provided not boosted.
cap off passenger rear port.
you will notice pcv oil begin to saturate your intake manifold. it might be not bad, it might be terrible. thats where the catch cans will start to matter to you.
