Few new pics of catch can set up:
I basically run the same setup, as long as you PCV has been gutted?
Only diffirence being, i run a line under the car from the catch can to drag the gasses out using the vacume instead of using a filter.
The PVC will need gutted, so it can breathe like the breather.
The PVCwill be shut all the time the way you have it setup, as there is no vacume pulling it open.
Basically, take the PVC off the cam cover, and split it at the seam, remove the ball and spring and glue to the 2 halfs back together.
This in turn will let it breathe under any circumstances.
Hopefully this clears your querey up.

It should just pull out.
Some WD40 and give it a tugg.
It wont cause damage, but it isnt doing anything the way it is. (apart from looking the part)
Rory, I`ll be fitting my catch can soon but it doesnt have a filter on it, will i be able to set mine up the same as Blak Mamber (gutting the pvc) or will i need to let the can breathe?
Also, do you just block the bit on the intake manifold?
Sorry if its been covered, i end up confusing myself trying to figure it out!
Cheers

@black mamber - what diamter is that hose? wasnt it an ebay job?
You'll need to let it breathe if you do that set-up or a huge amount of pressure would build up in the can! You can either vent to atmosphere like that set-up; so two breathers off the rocker cover going to a can which has a breather filter (also blocking up the inlet mani) OR the two PCV valve set-up where it goes from rocker cover via PCV valve to a sealed can, then to the inlet mani via another PCV valve. Like so:
