Why are you referring to the oil from the crankcase as "dirty?" It was simply vaporized and is condensing in the catch can.
If you block off the outlet on the intake arm and route both valvecover outlets to the catch can, you should get better crankcase ventilation. That is how I run my setup and it works well.
A good baffled catch can is a requirement. These guys make good ones: http://www.saikoumichi.com/
Also the once for a Mustang (I think) from Billet Depot is what I use on my S2k. Good filtering, easy to mount, easy to drain.

Of course it is a no-no on turbo cars, their intake manifolds will have positive pressure that will try to fight the crankcase pressure and not do you any good.
N/A cars never reach positive pressure so the intake manifold helps ventilate the crankcase.

These look like a good choice for a catch can.
I plan to get one of these as they are baffled and filtered.

I bought the "Stealth" one from 42draftdesigns
It's very well made but the 3/4" hose fittings suck. I had to buy almost $50 worth reducers to connect to our 3/8" PCV.
One my N/A AP2 engined racecar it caught 12oz of oil in 110min of driving at Thunderhill!

As well as a catchcan on the PCV as above on my ap1 I had to install a breather filter on the front crankcase line and blockoff the hole in the intake neck

Why is this line necessary? Shouldn't the PCV->intake manifold get everything?

I've seen others with this line as well.
