Breather to air cleaner

I was thinking of changing current air cleaner to something newer (chromed?). What to do with the connection to the air breather on the valve cover?

Do I need that connection?

You don’t need that connection, you can use a breather that doesn’t have a hose outlet in its place.

When there is high crankcase pressure the fumes will pour out of the breather onto the valve cover instead of getting sucked up by the air intake, that’s the only difference.
