LT4 composite valve covers

One cover has the oil fill hole and a hole on the top for the breather and the other is blank. Can I use the breather hole for the PCV, as it is baffled and won't suck up oil and drill a hole in the opposite side for a push in breather? I know the PCV is in the intake man. on an LTX, so is this an acceptable shoe maker job? Or, is there some way I don't know about?

Yes the regular breathed vent hole on the passenger rear 3/4" w/grommet can house the
PCV those are some nice covers.
