The hardest part was the two lil boxes. They are spot welded on. If you take and clean around them youll see the spot welds. Use a grinder and hit those welds a lil then you can take a hamer and chisel and knock em loose.
There are 4 steel tube that run from the manifold into those boxes. I unbolted them to get them out then cut the tubes off of the fitting that goes into the manifold. Went to the hardware and found 4 short bolts the have the same head size as the fittings. Put the bolt into the fiting and weld around the head(unless you can find plugs to block off the holes). This pretty much eliminates all that crap. Block off the hole in the bottom of the breather which used to be hooked to the steel line that run off the two boxes.
To fill the two holes in the valve cover, go to the parts house and you can get a grommet to put on the rear hole so you can put your pcv valve back in and you can get a oil filler cap to fit the front. If you have any probs call me

Well as much as i wanted and planed on goin to that nats this year, looks like ill have to wait. With my type of job and youngins i need to look at the bigger picture. Have almost been tempted to sell my sweet Evangeline to catch up on bills but she is a member of my life and family at this point. So ill have to buckle down and hopefully make the nats next year. Until then even though most of you wont see me at evants doesent mean im not vannin. I plan on a lot of weekend nomad trips in my girl with wife and kids.
