Crankcase vent line, need vacuum?
Well I broke a belt on the blower yesterday and now I am going thru the hastle of trying to find which belt I need. While I had the blower off I noticed a good amount of oil residue on the pipes and blower fins. I want to make a catch can but I am curious why we have to even have a line going to the intake tract? Why not take the line that I have going to my intake and put it to a catch can, and all the excess pressure/vaccum be vented to the atmosphere rather than in the intake. Please let me know if this isn't do able and I am way out in left field.
This is how my lines are currently ran, then the bottom of the T runs to the intake blower tube.
This is what I want to make. One line goes in and done.

Like I said, I dont have any idea about these lines....I was told by my shop I go to (G Force motorsports) for a tune, to run it like this. Slow ride, good idea, I will get rid of the T when I go to do it.

I've got a catch can on my LS6 and I'm thinking about only running the valley breather to the intake (through the can first).
If I can cap the valve cover nipple, and the line it goes to on the throttlebody... I can make the clutter even less by removing that line from sight. My engine is almost ready to go back together...
I'm finishing up polishing one of the cylinder heads this weekend.
