    I removed my pancake vavle, just ran the hose into my catch can. I have had no problems with the set up this way

    Nope, you won't. If you're deleting the f hose you won't have a manifold draw on the pcv system so their is no reason to limit the amount of vacuum being pulled (which is what the pancake valve does)
