Default Catch Can Clarification

Ok.

With the ARC catch can there are three ports. I assume one goes to the passenger side valve cover, one goes to the driver side valve cover, and the last one connects to some point on the intake. Does this then mean that the PCV becomes obsolete? Or what do you do with the hoses that were going to the PCV?

With the Greddy one, where the are only 2 ports, again i assume one goes to some point on the intake side, and the other one? Can it go to either the driver side or the passenger side valve cover? Could you put a T-fitting in their and have it running to both the driver and passenger side valve covers? Does it matter if it's venting only one bank of the engine? It would seem to me that the greddy design is more suited to engines with a single valve cover.

Any one care to chime in?

from the pcv vlave to the can then return to plenum (thats the passenger side) - the other side is just from the driver side that the intake tube usually connect to... so you have 2 feeding the can and 1 return.

???

I understand there are two feeding the can (ARC). What your saying is that one comes from the PCV, and the other comes from the driver side valve cover??

That's not what it looks like on the pics.
Sorry if i'm being a d1ck, but i like to understand things 100% before going ahead with them.
Anyone else care to help clarify?
Thanks
