luckythirteen covered the vac leak issue pretty well.
Some folks get away with it, others have nothing but problems.

The reason for keeping the pcv system closed and intact is to prevent corrosive volatiles from accumulating in the crankcase.
Since the crankcase is constantly pulling in fresh air, contaminants in the crankcase vapor can constantly be pulled out of the crankcase.

This will allow your oil to last longer and remain cleaner. Closed pcv systems are one of many reasons we don't see sludge build up like there was in the 60's.

Jegs has the part you are looking for. It's with the valve covers and is listed for a 5.0 and is screwed in to the oil filler. I bought mine somewhere else but found this one afterwards.
