Valve Cover breathers
After ripping off the emissions I'm left with two nice holes in the valve covers. I know I can get breathers for them but can't I just block them off all together with a plug or do they need to breath?

Put the PCV valve back into one of the holes and put a breather into the other one. PCV is a Good Thing.
You do not want that pressure building up.

DO NOT PLUG THE HOLES!!!!!!!
If you do, you'll be very, very sorry. Go to pep boys and buy a breather for the passenger's side and a pvc for the other side, and do it fast. Don't drive you car anywhere with the valve cover holes plugged.
You'll build up so much gas and condensation in such a short time, you engine will rot from the inside out!!!!!!!!!!
