Default carb questions

I have this SS I put a new motor in. I used a #1405 650 edlebrock.
question 1. The carb has a vacuum port for the PCV. Can I just cap it? Or will that upset the carb?
2. there are distributer vacuum advance ports. I capped the timed port and used the full vacuum port for my vacuum ball, which is only used for the heat control system. Will this upset the carb?
The car has an 05(ls6) with a carb and box. But I guessed I'd find carb answers over here.. lol Thanks

On bolth question's the answer is, that will work just fine without any problem's. I personally would use a different carb, there is a night and day differance between the Edlebrock & a Demon/Quick Fuel/Holley HP carb.

I'm with this guy and go ahead and buy yourself a K&N topper for that air cleaner. It's ridiculous how much better they flow, especially with a cowl induction setup.
