I removed the fake oil fill cap and welded a -12 fitting to the passenger side valve cover and removed the steel vacuum elbow on the drivers side valve cover milled a larger hole and welded another -12 fitting to that cover, I then ran individual -12 lines from those fittings to the top of the dry sump tank. I ran a -12 line from the top of the tank to catch can that has a K&N breather on top of it. I also used a Mike Norris pcv catch can for the pcv system. You will get some water out of the tank catch can when you drain it from condensation. Imo you cannot have too much venting on the engine as it will only aid your ring seal. Someone posted this link and it has a lot of good info in it, I don't necessarily agree with what he thinks about the pcv system but most of the info is good.
