What plugs into the valve covers?

I've got four ports on my valve covers.
Driver's front = PCV valve
Driver's rear = filler cap
Passenger rear = line from throttle body
Passenger front = ? help me

I have a breather on the passenger rear and the pcv valve on the driver's front. I want to remove them because I discovered that one of them is the source of the strange whistling noise my car make.

What is supposed to go in the passenger rear port?

I found this thread.
That one enlightened me a bit. I want to get the breathers off the covers. I originally put them on there about five years ago because I thought they looked cool. Recently I discovered they were having an adverse effect on performance.
I'll get a pic tonight when I get home. I recall a passenger front hole, but now you've got me second-guessing myself.

I would say to plug it off. I know I dont have anything there.
Actually my oil fills in the front (drivers side), because I bought some chrome powdercoated corvette valve covers.

But the passanger side is just that little elbow & pipe that goes to the throttle body.
