valve cover venting

Hello, I have a 390 with Eldebrook valve covers and intake. Just wondering what the proper routing is for venting. Should the left go to the bottom of the air cleaner on the inside of the filter element? On the right side can it go into the air cleaner as well or does it need to go to a vacuum source on the intake? Here's a link to photos of my truck when I purchased it. I Hope it works. I'll try to get an updated photo tomorrow. Thanks...Vic

Left valve cover has the pcv valve going to the carb spacer for vacuum. Right, for the oil breather, goes to the air cleaner. The pic below maybe an oil bath cleaner but it is the same idea.

See the album for shots

Should be a pcv valve in the passenger valve cover going to manifold vacumn, and vent hose from the driver side valve cover to the air cleaner
