Yeah, that's how I set up mine, as well. I'm still not entirely comfortable with the level of vacuum that the crankcase has now. I went ahead and oriented the Puralator 1050 valve vertically (threads and flow toward intake), thinking that might help, but I don't think it did much, if anything - the dipstick and oil filler cap are still under vacuum after the engine is off. It's not so much I can't pull them off, but it's certainly noticeably more than stock.

That got me looking at how to spec a vacuum level for a PCV. That then led me to finding an adjustable PCV: Dual Flow Adjustable PCV Valve | M/E Wagner Performance Products

There's an inline adapter that would be used for our applications. I'm tempted to try it, even though it is a bit spendy. I really do like the catch can/remote PCV setup over the stock setup. I left the CCV in place, as well as the hoses. There was serious buildup on the hoses, so I can only imagine the state of the CCV itself. So yeah, I like this setup, I'd just like to be able to control the vacuum level a bit more.

Also: picture time! Note: if I had to do it again, I would have not cut the stock 90° fitting on the valve cover like the video linked in this thread. I ended up epoxying one of the reducers that came with the Moroso kit to make this work. I will eventually either buy the stock connector (read: tube) and use another 90° adapter to straighten it out, or buy a bigger section of hose and a reducer.

Also note the vertical orientation of the Puralator PCV (basically looks like just a solid tube of hose clamps in that picture heh). Brass elbows were a Lowes find and worked great (Apollo PAX elbows).

This might not be the final form of the project, but it's a good start, I think (assuming the extra vacuum in the crankcase doesn't have any negative impact...knocking furiously on wood).
