pcv oil catch
#2
Yes there is. Remove hose from present PCV valve, insert onto inlet fitting of catch can,
run new hose from outlet fitting of catch can to PCV valve.
Are you getting blow-by issues (oil in the vent hoses), or just want to do this for fun?

Looking at the 3.8 valve covers, I'm now seeing your problem. You can either:
1) drill a hole in either valve cover (after removing it of course) to accept a breather grommet, and install an elbow. Then run a hose from there to a catch can, then out to a full manifold vacuum source on the engine. Or...
2) instead of drilling a valve cover, pick up another passenger side cover which has the oil fill hole, and modify (drill) the cap to accept a grommet and do as in #1.
If it were my car, my preference would be #2 for neatness and reversibility.
But, in doing either way, you're going to be creating more vacuum in the crankcase. So, you're going to want to have a breather or breather tube in the opposite valve cover than where you install the catch can hose, so that the crankcase can breathe in and out. Your option would be an aftermarket breather, or a vent line connected to the air intake tube.
