wouldn't be a bad idea. norm that opening is vented back into the factory intake to control oil vapor. just like water, oil "steams" (norm because of water forming in the oil). this vent gives all the vapor a place to go instead of pressurizing the valve cover (and poss blowing out the gasket). the filter is to keep dust and grime out of the valvetrain.

happy motoring.

I ran into the same problem with my car. I went and bought a valve stem for a wheel, removed the piece inside (I can't remember the name of it right now), drill a hole the same size as that of the stem itself in your intake, pop it in, then attach your hose to it. The stem base has a lip on it, so its air tight, and will not budge. Its a piece of cake.
