That or it may help with the whole oil in the intake issues. But, I'm not sure.

LS6 style PCV draws the crankcase gasses from the intake valley instead of the tappet covers. There's less oil mist in there. It requires changing the valley cover with slight grinding to the engine block and plugging off the tappet cover holes.

Wasn't there an updated PCV for the 98's (or pre LS6 intake)?
