The bypass system clogs over time if not changed, whereas the full flow system has a valve which lets the dirty oil go around the element when it's loaded up.
I have no clue what a Camden blower is (Rootes,vane type???) but perfectly clean air and perfectly clean oil would be the best possible situation.

Bluebell, a Camden blower is a 2 lobe Roots style. It receives oil from the engine under pressure which runs through the bearings then returns into the valve galley.
