can I bypass this oil separator
does anyone have pictures how it look like on inside valve cover? can oil separator drop into valve cover or just sits there? can I bypass this oil separator and run an oil capture bottle? or it needs suction from intake manifold?

Yes it just sits there.
Technically yes you can by-pass it, you would just run a hose from the valve cover towards the bottom of the truck and vent the crankcase gases to atmosphere and then plug the vacuum port on the intake plenum.
Thats how they used to do it in the old days.
Just remove the valve cover, clean out the oil separator port and put it back together.

This was my thought once until I pulled the cover and looked at it. There's a metal baffle that is riveted to the inside of the valve cover, no real access unless you want to grind the rivets off and then figure a way to reattach it. What I've done since then is use a brad point wood drill bit, somewhat smaller than the diameter of the tube and by hand use it like a roto rooter in a drain. I then use a pointy vacuum attachment on a shop vac and suck the broken pieces out.
