I thought air went in and out, and the RX only allowed in...
The valve in the breather only prevents oil from escaping, that way you don't spray oil all over your engine compartment when you go WOT. Gases will still be forced out through the filter, as well as seeping out while the engine is not running. In reality though, even for green nuts the amount your emissions increases by this mod is quite small. Far less than, say, removing your cat.

if so, how?
On the LT1, a 5/8 vacuum cap over the port on the throttle body. On the LLT, I'm not really sure how the hoses are routed.

P.S. - To put it another way, gases HAVE to be forced out of that side of the system. If they can't escape, pressure will build up in the crankcase: the exact situation the PCV system is in place to prevent.
