Um, no. You need a functioning PCV system to evacuate corrosive gases from the crankcase. And you can't simply plumb a hose from a breather to full manifold vacuum at the base of the carb, or you'll just have a really big vacuum leak. You need that PCV valve in between to meter the airflow down a bit. The breather goes on the opposite valve cover to vent gas into the crankcase.
On most street vehicles, there is no reason not to run a PCV. It doesn't hurt anything, and it helps extend engine life.
Personally, I use a PCV from a common Chevy application, simply because it has a 90* fitting attached to it. I think it works on mid-80's chevy pickup 350's.

I got one with a 90 in it! thanks. Do you know where it should hook up on an edelbrock 1405? Front or rear?
