Ah okay...that makes more sense. Someone earlier said the oil separator WAS the CCV. Anyway, yeah, the oil separator is held on by one zip tie. Also, after looking closer, overjoyed to find that I won't have to remove the intake manifold to do the VCG's. I had watched a youtube video previously that said you had to remove that, but maybe he was talking about the valley pan gasket.
