Greddy elbow installation

I have done some thorough searching and haven't been able to find anything very helpful. I am in the process of installing a fmic and also deleting emmissions. I placed my uim,tb, and greddy elbow on to see how the elbow sits so I can make up some piping. Even after removing the tmic bracket it seems as though the eblow interferes with the oil filler neck and some little dashpot(?). I've read about a few people cutting and re-welding the oil filler neck but I have also seen a few pics of people managing to run the elbow without issues. How does everyone get around this issue?
Thanks in advance fo any info guys.

that would be the bacv, i think. pretty sure you need that, unless you running an aftermarket ecu. i went to a bit of trouble relocating it, but when i got my microtech installed, it was gone, so ya may wanna check on that. i believe it has something to do with crankcase ventilation and pressure.

Ok I ran out and took some pics. The oil filler neck doesn't look like it will interfere really but that other black thing (I'm not sure of the proper term for it, circled in red) with the line going to it is right in the way.
The uim + tb and elbow are just placed on, I took a pic of the uim to show how it sits resting on the black thing. Can I just bend that "thing" over a little or is it too brittle?








On a side note, I'm not running the thermowax or cold start assist.

That's the purge valve. Just extend the lines and move it somewhere else.

Yes, that should work. Why I didn't think of that is beyond me. Thanks for the quick responses guys!
