Yes, why couldn't you just tie all the blue lines together and feed them into the oil tank? Capping the throttle body port.

I guess you would lose your vacuum this way and it would just be a excess pressure relief system rather than a Vacuum assisted one.

Okay, didn't think about that. I wonder if just increasing the length of the line from the valley over to the TB would help if I could maintain a slight elevation gain to get the oil running back. A 'cooled' catch can may also be a good idea, but where to put a cooling system for it? Condense the oil out of the air.
