oil catch can
i installed an oil catch can that i bought used from a company that does road racing i wont name his company but it was the best 30 min class on tuning that i haven gotten to date.while i was there i bought a very little used oil catch can... he explained how to put it on and i just installed it. it tok a bit of fitting but its in i hope that you can see the pics. if you decide tha you are going to do this plan everything out. get a dremmel tool and measure before you cut... and but good steel braided hose..it is by no means a direct bolt on unit... i hope you can see the pics. i will say that his shop is just outside of san diego ca his passion for the corvette evident when you walk into his shop area.

It appears that the OP got a breather with a can attached to collect fumes before there were released in the engine compartment. There is only one hose and not the required 2 that a real catch can has (see the pics from the previous 2 responses). The breather is also the reason it is so tall. Still, cutting the FRC? 
The mounting bracket determines where it is mounted. If the bracket you have is keeping it too close to the FRC then you should modify the bracket, not the FRC. Also, the can needs to be as vertical as possible to keep as much oil as possible in the can. With a properly designed bracket a catch can should be a very simple project.
I just bought this high quality unit last week. The bracket is prebent for the LS2 and there is a spacer for the bolt to move it out and clear the FRC.
