Default '72 K5 with new GM performance block. Can I tee PCV vacuum and brake assist off of carb?

Hello,

I just dropped a new GM performance block into my '72 K5. What a pain, getting all the new fangled stuff matched up to '72 chassis.

I have one problem now. I need vacuum for the PCV port on the valve cover and another vacuum for the vacuum assisted brakes. The Holley 600CFM carb has a single vacuum port.

Is it possible to tee that vacuum off of the carb and run both the PCV and brake off of the same vacuum port?

Thanks,

Jeff
