Ah, yep, PCV hose. Do NOT simply block it off, you will get pressure buildup in the valve cover(s) and start getting oil leaks.
Install a catch can if you want/need between the intake and the PCV valve or you can run a PCV breather off the PCV Valve and block off the intake hole.
If you simply remove the hose you'll get a mist of oil in your engine bay and a CEL thrown for unmetered air that the open intake hole lets in.
