I like the fuel pump block off to a catch can idea, never thought of that. I run an electric fuel pump too..

YES!! I do run multiple EGR valves -- but they're not what you think they're for!! I run them just to use up the excess vacuum... since they're "just a valve" and they really don't do what they say they do... and frankly, I like really hot exhaust temps and making lots and lots of pollution.
Okay - seriously - I will de-stroke the 427 the next rebuild... and will use a hypereutectic piston rather than the forged. I know that on this website that would be "insane", but this is just in a street rod... and the oil control could use some improvement... and the sloppy pistons at cold start bug the hell out of me.
PS -- In the close up of the catch can - the 90* fitting on the line isn't done correctly - but used it just for mockup. The fitting stripped before I could get the POS to mate up... so had to take it off and polish up another one for final assembly. I just didn't want anyone thinking that I did that kind of work!! LOL I also oiled the breather after final assembly too! So let's not start a whole new thread about that... please.
