Default PCV valve LS3 Dry-sump location e-Force?

I think there's a fixed, positive crankcase hose that's re-assigned upon an e-Force Edelbrock Stage-1 kit on the LS3. (kit #1574)

My installer overfilled the oil by 2 quarts and my oil-pressure was pegged at 80 PSI after 100 miles of "dyno" testing. I dumped the oil and put the right amount in using the dry-sump dipstick test method as-proper and now the oil pressure is accurate.

I wanted to see if a PCV valve was fouled or if oil got into the e-Force valley area, the ventilation hose to the air-filter was dry, thankfully, not spitting oil, etc. I've been told there is no PCV? Anyone have a pic of where I should look?
