a pcv valve and breather combo is a vent system for your engine basically. It sucks air in the breather and out the pcv valve (positive crankcase vacuum). It removes susbtances that are in the air stream inside your engine that could potentially harm internal components ie: blow by gasses, etc. You car will run fine without one but i would highly recommend that for the longjevity of your engine that you seriously consider drilling those holes even if it does make em look a little less pretty. your engine will thank you.

He's not wanting to get rid of it. The LT-1's intake just has the provision for the PCV in the intake instead of the valve cover. You can go either way. If you don't want it in the valve cover just use the intake's provision.
