You should be fine. Years ago there was a "kit" for about $25 to make a vent out of a nonvented. It was nothing more than a T, some vacuum hose, a small filter and silicone ( so $5 worth of material).

You tapped one hose into the air cleaner box and installed an inline filter, other into a hose on the intake, ran the two hoses into the holes in the opti ( there are 3 holes/ports ). Silicone the hoses the outside ports and plug the center port.

You have the poor man's vented opti.

You could do about the same, use the ports to make an inlet, and the cap connection as the vacuum port.

This should help draw the Ozone and moisture out of the Opti.
