Question on Performance build... options i have
I was wondering if i could run a breather on each valve cover and no PCV and have no problems with oil leaks or what have you...
My carb has one provision for PCV or Brake booster and i'd rather stop... or could i run a "T" fitting on the PCV and brake booster to that one provision???

You want to run a PCV system, especially on the street. I have a breather on one side and a PCV on the other. Vacuum comes from the carb baseplate and is "teed" off to go to the brake booster.

"Location: Kissimmee, FL" = high humidity.
If you don't "purge" the crankcase, you're going to build up moisture in the engine. Having two vents doesn't cut it, because they are both at the same pressure.
As stated, use a PCV valve.

There is an awesome thread on the argument of PCV. I think it is called "PCV or no PCV."
