Nice idea. Bracket is simple and the separator is out of the way. Also like you could add a membrane into it to help collect oil vapors.
Is there room to drain it? Or do you have R&I it for that ?
I see you replaced the inlet hose to the air filter also.

I replaced the air filter box with a K&N CAI.

You won’t get much, I’ve had mine in for some time , maybe 2 oz of condensation like oil and water. I relocated mine from the air box to the engine lift bracket.
There is only vacuum in that line at full throttle, none while driving around town , so it helps a lot when you are driving at highway speeds.

Ok, I have had mine in for a while now and it’s the same one as yours. I didn’t add the copper mesh to act as a filter.
So far I get what I would call oil vapor, and it barely coats everything in the can, but it’s not collecting. I feel like the vapor is just passing though?
Is it because the can is not cool enough to condense the oil?.
I see some people add power steering oil coolers to get the oil to condense out of the air. Not sure if that is something I want to add, but has the copper mesh helped?

Interesting, I don’t have clear tubes.
I will have to check the intake pipe for any oil residue.
i was looking at oil/air separators and they seem to have some kind of filter element.
I will have to look into adding something and see if I get a result.
