well you would have to keep the pcv line necause you want to keep that vacume to the valve cover personally i would keep the one you got in there i think the only thing i would trade mine for would be a snorkle but that is because i live in the california desert and an open filter like the ones you see on imports if that is what your tallking about they collect alot of dirt, sand, and mud if you take them off the road because the filter is exposed and once it gets dirty it wont breath what i did was painted the air filter housing orange to match my valve cover, attery tray and radiator housing to make it look more apealing
