Default new valve covers

Good evening, all, I have a question. I am getting ready to install new valve covers with coil mounts. My question is about the PCV hose that comes from the top of the valve cover on the passenger side that tees in with the other line coming from the passenger side valve cover. can I eliminate the middle line and run push lock an-6 straight to the dry sump tank without any problems? I want to clean up those lines as well.

Thank you.

Hey, many people have deleted the "center pull" PCV pickup on the passenger side. I really don't know why this center port came to be and I asked the same question to Katech when I was considering their cast aluminum valve cover setup (which I ended up not doing since they are not fully baffled) and they didn't have a good answer either, they just delete it.

As long as the valve cover is vented to the dry sump tank in at least one place I think you are OK.

Hope this helps.
