Sorry, but these feel like really stupid questions. But I can't find the answers, so here goes......
After Xmas (not allowed to do it before!) I will be fitting some lovely new valve / rocker covers to my car:

When I bought them I got a new PCV valve as I already knew I needed a new one. I also realised I needed a new filler cap, as these use rubber push in types so I got one of them as well as new gaskets. They came with mounting bolts.
However, the first thing I noticed was the 'Chevrolet' would read upside down if I put them on the way they were intended. So I want to put them on the opposite sides or spin them round so they look right. First Question - Does it matter if the oil filler cap is on the passenger side rocker cover instead of the drivers side? Presumably it makes no difference?
The other thing I have noticed is there is another pipe running from the standard valve cover on the passenger side which goes into the throttle body. I assume this is a 'breather' but am not sure. Second Question - Can I replace this pipe with a breather and blank the intake to the throttle body or does this do something else? The drivers side has the PCV valve and a hose going into the intake manifold, I understand this one at least
Final Question - The new valve covers have baffles in them under two of the holes. If I remove one / either / both of these does it matter? If I turn the covers round so the name reads the right way this may help me keep the PCV valve in the right location.
Just in case this makes a difference, it is a standard 5.7 TPI L98 engine, standard in my 1991 Z28
Many thanks in advance, and Happy Xmas to you all!!!!!
