Using the old style breather on the passenger side didnt bother the engine? I used a PCV style chrome one and took out the valve inside instead of buying the breather.

The motor seems to run stronger I was not happy with the blow by that was going into my intake I eliminated the pcv also and just used a breather instead, no negatives from that either.
