turns out things go much faster when you're not fabricating so I have made some changes already. Pulled the valve cover and did some grinding of the channels on each side (only one in pic cuz other ended up blurry and its too late lol). I added two steel wool scrubbers, one on each side. I did not cut them at all so hopefully they will remain intact.






Then I plugged the tapped intake manifold hole I had just done and am using the stock vent ports as before. Dual -10 to the catch can then -12 to the intake with the second catch can in between. The second catch can is probably overkill but I already bought it and made a bracket for it so why not lol. I may remove it if there isn't enough vacuum but only time will tell. I'll fire it up this weekend, we're currently getting a spring snow storm.
