valve cover breather?

valve cover breather?
Im not sure what its called.
I think its a pcv valve from valve cover to carb spacer.
Can I delete this and just use a breather on top of the valve cover?
It is for recirculating crankcase air, right? Unburnt fuel and carbons?

There is an under carb spacer block that connects to the PCV valve. The PCV valve ventilates the blow-by gases found in the crankcase, which is normal in a automotive engine, and allows them to be re-burned in the combustion process. On a street engine, unless you want to continuously wipe your engine down due to allow the oily blow-by residue coming out a breather vent, hook it back up.

OK so my issue is that i cannot find the proper gaskets for the spacer which is where the pcv hose hooked up to. I have a vacuum leak I cannot get rid of right at the intake and spacer. Can I take off the spacer to get a solid seal to my carb, then use another port on my intake for the pcv hose connection?

Nope,no metal, just uses 2 of those gaskets. One on top, one on bottom. Before you put it together flip thespacer upside down real quick to make sure you get good gasket coverage past
The edge of the spacer cause iv had it happen twice where it wouldn't work...more so on 4 barrel falcons though for some reason
