There is a TON of history on why you do this stuff for reasons other than emissions.
Just my comment on this subject.

Tom,
I have a mostly stock (4bbl, HEI, Dual Exhaust were added) 1972 Luxury LeMans with a 350 in it. In the 1972 Service manual it speaks of a "Closed P.C.V." system. The manual says the P.C.V. is located in the "push rod cover" which I assume is the "valley cover" with a rubber hose connecting it to the intake manifold and another hose (a pipe in my case) connects one rocker arm cover to the air cleaner. It makes no mention of the second rocker arm cover. You say the other rocker arm cover should be vented; are there two types, closed and open p.c.v. systems, or am I just missing a breather in my other rocker arm cover?
Thanks,
Karl
