Crankcase breather removal

I've been told it's hard to refit the metal crankcase breather back on as I need the little metal pipe deleting which goes to the back of the head and fitting some new breather hoses into a swirl pot I could just block it at one side bit id rather just remove it all together any body btdt could share how they did there's when fitting a swirl pot and oil catch can

I wouldn't attempt to remove one of those again unless it's 100% necessary, their NLA and a sod to fit in situ, I made the mistake of removing mine to weld an AN fitting to it and had to use chemical metal to get it to seal properly.

With the engine out on a stand it's not a problem.
