That is basically what I was suggesting.
Of course, in your diagram the other side of the T would need to be capped off (I am guessing that is what the X means), and the PCV valve should be replaced with a larger diameter straight-through fitting. I would also suggest cutting the PCV 'strainer' on the valve cover baffle shorter so it does not suck in unnecessary oil, or possibly blocking it off and drilling holes in the baffle instead.
I do not see why it would not work, unless the PCV valve has something magical inside that I am not aware of, making it different from a regular vacuum port sucking fumes and pressure out of the head.
Not sure about using the factory oil separator as a catch can before the intake, but I do not know much about it.
