its really not a good idea to delete the pvc, as its job is to extract oil and gas blow-by vapors. better to have one breather and one pvc.

i replaced my grommets and i might have gotten one of them at autozone but i had to go to the dealer for at least one, maybe both. they weren't too expensive, a few bucks.

PCV needs to be there. It keeps the assorted blowby contaminants out of your oil. (well, ok, it tries, at least...) not to mention, drawing the slight vacuum on the crankcase also helps piston rings seal.
