First of all...an acknowledgement to George (BigBlueLB756) for all his input and help and his running thread: Cheap Catch Can Option
I had thought it possible to use an air/water separator to achieve a functional catch can and then after researching what all is entailed...I came across Georges thread who had already blazed the trail!
I will start off with the installed pic and a video of it running...then follow with details on what all is needed and how I went about it if anyone is interested.
The only downside I discovered...is that the valve on the bottom of the air/water separator does not hold under vacuum. It is designed to be under pressure. So no matter what position the valve is it...it is always sucking air. I put a rubber plug on the bottom for now. This may be ok...but not ideal for long term.

I initially purchased a 1/2" air/water separator from Harbor Freight...but ended up not being able to find a suitable threaded ball valve to fit the end of it. What came on that required pressure to seal it so it was open with the engine under vacuum.
While browsing WalMart one day I came across this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Amflo-3-8-Ai ... 10&veh=aff which at the time was $19 but now is on sale for $7.11!
I picked one up and started collecting the other needed materials. A couple of 3/8" brass 90° fittings https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C ... UTF8&psc=1 and some 3/8" fuel hose. I bought 10' not knowing at the time where I would install the can so wanted extra. In my final install I ended up using a 17" piece and a 17.5" piece. Total of 34.5" so just an inch and a half shy of 3'.
I already had a collection of hose clamps and scrounged around my shop for some scrap metal for a bracket. Plus misc hardware which I have plenty of also.
What I found for the bracket was an piece from a garage door opener. Was pretty thick...like about 3/16". I cut it down after doing some measuring and placement checking.

One of the holes was a good diameter, but needed to drill smaller ones for the attachment points. I used my belt sander to round off the ends.

Drilled the new holes:


Then formed it in the vice:


Here was a test fit before painting:

The angle was a bit more than 90° to account for the slant of the alternator bracket surface:


Removed and primed it:

Then a final coat of some black semi gloss:

So here are all the components (except needed 4 hose clamps not just 2)

These are M6x1.0 thread bolts...approx 1" long and used a washer and lock washer on both.

Drilled the top of the air/water separator and put a bolt and nut on it. Used a bit of black RTV to seal. If I did this again...would have followed George's method of drilling smaller and tapping it with the bolt thread.

Elbow's attached and sealed with teflon tape:

For the splicing into the vapor line...I ended up cutting in two places as shown and connecting my 3/8" fuel line to them:

Ran the two pieces of 3/8" fuel hose and tie wrapped them to go through the cover opening:


And tied into the catch can:


Was my first chance to use my new flush cut nippers to cut the ends off the cable ties. Worked perfect. No sharp edges at all.

Final product:



And here is the rubber plug in put on the end of the plastic valve on the air/water separator to keep from leaking vacuum.

Here is a good document shared with me by George from Elite showing the hose you cut and additional info: http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/cont ... _Truck.pdf
Total cost is a bit more since I bought a few things I did not end up using...and some spare hose I also did not need. But was under $25 with the super cheap catch can air/water separator and the two brass 3/8" fittings and fuel line. My extras and having paid more for the catch can ran me just under $64 total. Still not bad.
