i know this doesnt directly pretain to your engine, but theres a similar thing on ls1/ls6 engines. the ls1s use a pcv system that sucks air from each valve cover, this in turn was burning a decent amount of oil and fillign the intake with oil. one change that the ls6 got was a pcv system that only drew from the intake cover. This helped a bit with oil consumption supposedly. HOWEVER the LSx intake valley is a LOT different from previous v8s and is almost a "dry" valley, and doesnt get much oil thrown around in it like yours would. In your case, like tim said, if you have breathers in say one valve cover and a pcv valve in the other goign to the carb, youll be fine with plugging that hole on the valley cover.
