Hey Gm gen3, dont have a pic but let me see if i can explian it . In the pic you posted.The oil/gases get sucked out of the valley an put back in the manifold. The vt/vx setup takes the oil/gases from the back of both rocker covers an then puts it back into the manifold. sorry if this dosent make sense but i tried editing the image you posted but it wouldnt let me upload it after i did.??? im no good with computers.

thats the same setup as mine, the crapy air from the manifold goes into the can then goes from to the can to the manifold with cool clean air

The top one is what you are after.

Basically just diconnect the hose from the manifold and route into the catch can, then the catch can back into the manifold.

Kevs spot on. Top one is the vt/vx setup, bottom one is vy onwards.

My vote goes for the Elite, top notch in my book.
I added extra stainlesssteel wool to the bottom half.
Makes a little hareder to clean as the wool needs cleaning but it mkaes sure none of that nasty oil mist goes back into the engine.

Newbie question:

Would this filter (intended for HHO B/S but looks like it would catch oil) serve as a mini-catch can, for cars that only blow a little oil out the PCV?

Yes, it would clearly show you the volume of oil vapour being fed back through your intake system to be burned off. If you find it full and clogged in two weeks or so you know you'll need a proper catch can, but I'd it only has a few drops then you're golden to keep using it and just cleaning it regularly.
