OCC install question... An alternate way to do it?

[SpeedThrills]

So I'm under the car looking to get my new DM OCC installed and coming to the conclusion that many do: This is going to be damn near impossible without removing the IM. Contemplating the dread of AGAIN removing my IM and all that entails, and now no longer in a place where I can work on my car, so I'd have to drive about 30 minutes, then let my car cool down... so on so on - I felt defeated.

When I replaced my PCV valve last year I wasn't thinking about an OCC so I reaffixed the clamp facing directly upward, making it impossible to now get a tool on it from beneath. But then I thought... why do we even need to remove this hose?

I can cut it straight down the middle, one hose from the OCC already comes with a 90 degree barbed fitting after the check valve, so I could just pop that onto the existing now half of hose on the IM, and I could source another barbed fitting and just do the same on the hose coming from the PCV... THIS SEEMS SO OBVIOUS.. so I can't be the first one to think of it. There MUST be some glaring reason why this is a bad idea. But I can't see it. If you're not an idiot, there's no reason that - properly clamped - the hoses should ever separate under pressure, and the extra length can be trimmed off the OCC hoses if needed.

Tell me... am I missing something?

Well no one chimed in on this but... already done. Quick, easy, perfect. Cost an additional $4 for the extra hardware, and confirmation from Matt over at DM that the splicing was perfectly fine.
