DAMN isn't that a lot of oil line to feed!
How bad is the pressure drop?
I agree mounting it where the battery "was" is a good location.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

A 1 quart accumulator may fit below it???
If you are talking about a bigger unit then moving the battery is by far the best choice. There just is not much room otherwise.

It's wasn't so bad, it was a 3qrt one. Agreed it wasn't the best place but in corners it would catch the crank case pressure drop real quickly.

Oil Accumulator/Oil Separator:
"This oil separator kit reduces detonation, oil burning and deposits on the valves by removing oil drawn through the PCV system before it can contaminate the intake charge. Excess crankcase pressure (sometimes known as "blow-by") is vented from the crankcase through the PCV system, where it is drawn into the intake manifold and returned by the engine. This re-circulated air contains aerated oil from the crankcase which is burned by the engine. Supercharged, nitrous boosted and high mileage engines often draw excessive amounts of oil into the engine through the PCV system. The Steeda oil separator plugs into the PCV hose between the PCV valve and the intake manifold and removes aerated oil from the re-circulated air and collects it in a tube that can be drained and recycled."
