I'm running full edelbrock. I was wondering if I could hook both vacuum hoses with a tee and connect that single tee to intake to handle both sides? Saw I few pictures online of guys that just put breather caps on them, I thought that was not ok on our motors? I run no IAC so I just mean the vac hoses on the heads.
vacuum ?

Vacuum hoses on the heads? Can you post a picture, please?
You want to look at getting a breather/catch can. Then you can run a hose from the valve covers and a hose to the intake. There’s many ways of doing it and many reasons to do it one way or another. Best to do a little reading to decide which is best for your situation

I'll be looking in to the breather's, most the images I saw of the breathers installed people are still running vacuum hose from the intake to at least the passenger side cover. Can the need to link intake to covers be removed completely with breather?
Yes, the engine just needs clean air to balance the PCV. keep the PCV though. You will have to figure out a way to adapt one since there is no provision in the other valve cover for it like the good old days. Won't pass smog inspection though.
well I think just found out why I've been burning oil past 6 years. guys who redid my cracked intake manifold replaced all the old hose and put a normal elbow on pcv side. Ok kind of a new question, can I run a single vacuum hose?
intake----Tee to passenger head--- 90 degree elbow to driver head?
or do they require separate lines, one at intake to driver side cover and one at manifold going PCV passenger for the pressure circulation? seeing the one is before TB and one is after. makes me think it helps circulate air inside motor.

Driver side gets fresh air, passenger side does all the suckin and routes to the upper plenum after the throttlebody. Plumb in the catch can passenger side. Start at the pcv valve, run extra hose from it to the catch can. Then from catch can run hose to throttle body plenum.
Im am a cheap tight wad! I use an air oil seperator ment for liquid catch inline of pressurized air from a compressor. I picked mine up for $15 at harbor freight. Got the maching fittings with barbed ends. Went to parts house and got the hose. Finally hacked it all together. About $30!
Now if you look elsewhere for a kit, look to spend $100. FUGITHAT!
Im a cheap bastich.....my whole car represents cheap bastich. Gotta have my fun on the cheap!!

I'm a broke boy as well, I'm going pay check to pay check on this build 2 years so far haha. Well thank you I get how that idea I had would not work to well. So from what you just said I only need to worry about passenger side and I could actually just throw a filter on driver side for FAE. (fresh air exchange)
