The odd looking unit is the stock breather, so that comes off.

Then you need pipes going from the two rocker breathers into the top two inlets on the bailey.

Then the two pipes on the bottom of the bailey breather are return to sump and the metering unit.



(remember to use oil hose as other rubber/silicone hoses with perish)

They all need to be removed as the bailey breather sits the other side of the head.

From what I have seen one of the breathers will need blocking off running from the inlet manifold the crankcase breather.

What injection system are you running? MFI or EFI?

Here is what mine looks like. The breather could do with repositioning but I have left it for now.

If that is the case it would be best for you to block off the thinner pipe from the top of the inlet manifold running to the breather or to plumb it into a boost gauge if you have one .

In the Bailey setup this top thin pipe is not used.
