Bill,
I bought the AirWolf Oil/Air separator for my IO-550N in my all electric (no vacuum) ES. It uses the same centrifugal force as the other AirWolf separators, but it uses the positive pressure in the upper part of the cowling rather then a take-off from the vacuum pump for the air flow. They developed this scheme for the all-electric Cirrus. I mounted it on the baffling outboard of the oil cooler. The oil return to the engine is via a specially modified push rod tube with a fitting brazed to it. How well it works I won't know until late this year (I hope!). Not the cheapest approach but I hoping for trouble and maintenance free. I've attached a couple of photos.
