So, to make sure I have the flow path right.

Fresh air enters the passenger side valve cover through a small hole. Then it flows through the crankcase to the drivers side valve cover where it is connected to the air oil separator with a 3/8" hose and mounted below the height of the valve cover and then connected to the intake or carb baseplate with another 3/8" hose. Right?

In theory, the crankcase will have negative pressure at idle and cruise but I just don't see one 3/8" hose being enough ventilation at wfo. Crankcase pressure will go positive and it will try to push through the AOS, taking oil with it, and when that's not enough, gaskets will start to leak.

At least that's the way it looks from 500 miles away. I hope it works for you but I think you will want a 5/8" inlet/outlet on the passenger side.
