Oil Catch Can setup

Ok, so time for some ventilation but really confused

I'm running a blower setup so now my intakes are under pressure. I'm still using a PCV, and a breather cap on the valve cover. Well I want to remove that little breather cause it is a nice $400.00 fine! Not in sight, not in harm

Now this is what I want to do, I am currently making my own Oil Catch Cans "CC", but confusion is getting in the way.
I want to run 2 CC's, 1 CC per valve cover. If there is a catch can in each valve cover is there still a need of running a PCV, does the PCV get totally deleted? And does the Intake's get capped from were the PCT use to be?

Will one CC be ok or will it lack on breathing in a small container, this is why I was gonna use 2, but if one is ok then ill just use one since draining 2 can be a PITA.

This picture shows what it looks like now!!! with CC's sitting in the corners not hooked up. If someone can modify this pic showing what should be done that would be great and some explanation.

Thanks.

I'm running one (oil seperator/catch can),but only off the one cover,the side that sucks/vaccums the oil back into the intake,the other vent tube pulls into the cover,no need to run two of them.
But the EFI 5.0's have the PCV in the intake obviously,and one vent tube from one cover,so you will be running an oil seperator/catch can between the PCV,and intake,so yes the PCV valve stays.For the 4.6,our PCV valve is back on the valve/cam cover like the old school,and they are the same in concept in what they all do.
So to answer your question,one is all you need,just get longer pcv hoses from C/T,and your good to go.

Well the thing is, I need to remove the air breather where the oil cap normally is. I am making custom catch can(s) not sure if one is big enough, cause if not ill just make 2 of them.
Your talking about a oil separator, I know a oil separator goes between the intake and the PCV as the PCV releases crankcase oil back into the upper intake to be re-combusted!

The 5.0's have that small rubber line that goes from the oil filler neck the the intake hose to the Throttle body.
This is were the catch can comes in.
I was told long time ago if I were to run a catch can(s) I would have to delete my PCV....but I cant really remember lol

What I mean by a catch can is this....
