PCV does pull from the DS cover stock Dev. The PS side is the fresh air intake.
Personally, unless you're having trouble with oil through the PCV or positive crankcase pressure, I'd leave it alone.
Having said that, I did add KrankVents and catch can to my build sheet lol. I routed the PS side to my intake vac port, but have the STS positive pressure switch there anyway. On the DS, I run the PCV to the catch can, catch can to the KrankVent, KV to the manifold (like Bill's setup on that side).

Oh it might I guess. The stock setup doesn't

Heh -- guess we should define 'pull' too

My understanding is this: fresh air comes in the passenger side vc. Crank air flows back into the manifold via the driver's side vc.

I think your plan is fine grippy except no real reason to change the connection points. No need for the one way valve since the intake tube on a radix doesn't see boost. Really the only thing you'll be changing from stock is the catch can which is not a bad idea.
When I took my radix off I didn't see much oil in the intake runners, relatively normal amount for any of the Gen III engines.
