Default Valve cover compatibility?

Looking to replace the stock valve covers with these ProForm tall units, along with the coil relocation. I have noticed a couple of differences in the covers, and am wondering if there are any compatibility issues.

Hose fitting at the rear of the stock passenger side valve cover, above the coil bracket.

Proform passenger side valve cover, with no hose fitting at the rear.

1. The stock passenger side cover has 2 hose fittings which look to be part of the PCV system; one at the rear of the cover and one towards the front. The Proform only has a hose fitting at the front. If the rear hose is not connected, what will be potential issues?

2. The wiring, specifically that for the injectors, does not have a lot of slack and I'm wondering if the Proform covers will cause the injector wiring to not reconnect after the install.

injector wiring - not enough slack?
I would appreciate some input from others that have installed these valve covers / coil relocation kits regarding these points of concern. Thanks!

Subbed for feedback. I'm thinking about the same kit.
