It should technically work on any vehicle as long as you can add it in line in a breather hose.

Reverse lights that will blind you ($22)
Very simple. These are two LED light bars, $11 each shipped, and they will splice right into the factory wiring. There are no relays needed because the wiring is the same gauge as the factory wiring. They are not getting warm at all and they work 10x better than the factory reverse lights with LED bulbs.

Thanks Alex for the tip.

What's involved in removing the old oil separator on a 2003 D2? I read somewhere is was actually part of the valve cover on the 2003 model,

On my 03 valve covers it just pulls out from the top.... Unless I have swapped them over the years with my 00 valve covers, in which case it comes out of the bottom. Or vice versa.
It is real obvious when you look at them. Just pull the hose coming out of the top of the valve cover.

The 03-04 version has a restrictor disc pressed in to the vent tube. The baffle is removable, but you have to pull the tube out of the valve cover to get to it from the bottom. You can soak it in carburetor cleaner to dissolve the baked in carbon to get it out in one piece, but I usually just drill them out.

I don't think the o ring is critical. . Mine don't have them and don't leak. But then I may have torqued mine more than 6 pounds or whatever rave calls for. I did the Pontiac mod. Major air improvement for about 50 bucks. I'll post it. I've been leeching your ideas for over a year so it's only fair.

Charlie hasn't been on in a while, but what he's referencing there is switching out the in.cabin blower for one out of a Pontiac. Can't recall which model, but shouldn't be too hard to find searching around for Pontiac blower
