PO cut the tin with a double bladed ax to get the hoses up through to the fliter...If I don't need the ports, I can repair the tin and ditch the filter...
i have no stinking ports and no filter.
if you don't need the car to be smogged, you'll be fine without.
the breather hose from the oil-filler cap to the air filter is enough.
you don't NEED the rest for the engine to run fine.
i have heads without ports (like you i assume) so just get a pair of covers without and sell yours for big $$$ on ebay.
