Default PCV cap?

A little confused on this one.

LS 2 Swap into 68 Camaro. Should be all stock set up. Will be connecting the line with blue tape shown to intake.




I am pretty certain this should just be capped, but want to be certain. And if so, anyone got a part number that will work or exactly what to call it so I can find it. Thank you in advance for your help.
Cap? Part Number for Something?

I would run that line into the bellow between the air box and the MAF.

Default Clarification

The top image tube will be connected as you described I believe. The bottom image is where my question is. The one that I am pointing at which is currently connected. I don’t believe that it is needed and planned to remove and cap but could not get any info on this side, driver side, of the setup unless I overlooked it or just didn’t know correct name of what it is. Lots of info on passenger side, routing catch cans, etc... Hopefully I made it more clear.

thanks for the help. This newbie needs it.

Yes that side is the EVAP and can be capped off.

That's for the EVAP and I have mine hooked up as I'm still running the factory fuel system.

Top pic - if that hose is connected to passenger side valve cover (e.g. - crankcase) then I believe it’s the PCV make-up air line. If so, it should not be connected to the intake (vacuum) but to the air intake pipe downstream of the maf/upstream of throttle body.

Yes, that is where I was planning on connecting it, probably should have made myself a bit more clear. I will search EVAP delete and see if I can figure out a cap for that. I recall reading that certain caps are bad about drying out, cracking, and eventually leaking... maybe rubber or plastic, not sure. Anybody have a good part number on that cap, I’ll post it if I find it first. Thanks

I just picked a vacuum cap up at the local parts place when I pulled the purge valve line of the intake of my LS3. Whoever is doing your tune - be sure they delete that purge valve function in the ECU.

Thanks for the advice on the tune. Looks like several places have multipacks of the caps for cheap so I’ll just grab that. Thanks everyone.
