Default Breather Set-up Question

I'm just about to plumb in my breather and cut all the hose to length etc and Just just want to sanity check the way i intend to set it all up.

I've breather fittings on the engine in the following places:
cam cover
original kidney box
one returning to one of the wings on my big wing sump
one in the block on the exhaust side.

I've a breather with 4 -10 fittings i intend to connect as follows:
cam cover breather and one on the block (exhaust side) connected via a Y piece into the top of the breather.
Kidney box also connected direct to the breather top.
One on the base of the breather as a return to the sump.
One on the base of the breather as a drain, probably run into a chassis leg under car.

Really i want to know if this sounds ok to people, or hear any other ways i should be doing it.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like its correct. The only thing I was wondering is the capacity of the breather as you are running the extra pipe in via a Y piece?

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

The breathers probably not ideal size wise, but it'll do to get the car up and running again.
I did ask someone to weld a fifth port to it while they were welding the dash fittings on but they've forgotten hence why i was going to use a T for now, although i might just take it to work tomorrow and get someone to weld another fitting on tho.
