Default VALVE COVER BREATHER QUESTION

I have a question about a k&n valve cover breather. First of all I have an oil seperator on the drivers sidebetween thepcv valveand theintake and works great, but there is still oil getting into my inlet tube from the hose that goes from the passenger side valve cover to the inlet tube. So I was going to take the hose off the inlet tube and have the inlet tubehole plugged, and then take the hose off the valve cover and install a K&N breather. But my problem is the breather will not fit, my throttle body is in the way . So I was wondering if it would be safe topull the hose off the end of the inlet tube and install a clamp on K&N breather on the end of that hose and mount the hose and the breather to the car somewhere.That wayinstead of a breather just being on top of the valve cover, it would beconnected to the hose coming off of the valve cover. Can I dothis? Or will it cause problems? Thanks. If you need me to explain it better let me know and I might be able to post some pics on what I am talking about. Thanks

IT is safe but you need to cap off the unmetered air that will enter behind the MAF.
