Is plugging the pcv OK?
I'm wrapping up a complete polish of the engine bay. I'm also getting rid of all clutter, !wires,!air, and tidying up the ignition & fuel wiring. I'd like to get rid of all the pcv hoses while I'm at it. Can I plug the two outlets on the passenger side and the one on the driver's side and then run a breather on the oil fill spout? I know it's not emissions legal, but I don't run cats anyway. I' already non-emissions compliant. Is there any adverse effect or trouble I might run into?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I run a PCV breather from the LS6 valley cover,another one from my old Ls1 plastic PCV on top of the valve covers and one in place of the oil filler cap. All these PCV vents have worked well so far for me.
