Default Quick lid question

I have a 02 Z28 and I'm going to get a lid for it. TSP/MTI/Direct flo one of those. I already searched and found out that only SLP has the little hole on the neck of the lid for the AIR tube. So my question is, for instance I get a TSP lid (I know their back ordered) and install it, all I need to do is plug the tube with a little breather and secure it? I wont have any issues with codes?

I wouldnt expect to because the tube was drawing filtered air from the lid and now its just drawing filtered air from the breather right. I just want to make sure I'm right, a couple answers will do and this thread can die. Thanks in advance.

You could have found out along with the search about the SLP lid having the hole for the tube

You will not get a code for unplugging it and putting a breather on it. The tube is only for retreiving air. With it being in the lid, it was getting cleaner air. If you put a breather on it, you will get the same clean air as it was getting before.. so no real changes have been made

Right on the money..
I had the SLP lid.. I just plugged the hole in the side of the lid, and yanked out the AIR system altogether.
