I did the Ford Performance catch can install today. The mechanical part was very straight forward. You replace one of the valve cover bolts with a special longer one that attaches the bracket for the can, and you reuse the other bolt for a second attachment point on the bracket. All the under hood pictures are taken from the right fender. Here's a link to the Ford install instructions. They are pretty good, except for totally leaving you on your own to clearance the engine cover. The Ford pictures are also from the vantage point of the right fender.
I was a little stumped on how exactly the PCV hoses unclip. There is a little tooth that you simply push to the side, it doesn't take much force at all. It goes in the clockwise direction, looking at it from the hose end. It opens a ring that lets it slip right off. When you remove them, leave the oil film on there, it's makes the hoses go back on easier. Put a little oil on the nipples on the can, for the same reason.
I saw some guys had trouble getting that bolt out of the valve cover. It's just a pressure fit sleeve, use a plastic interior tool and it will pop right out.
