Valve cover breathers...

Folks-

Bought me a set of those Mopar crinkle-coat valve covers (first pure
dress-up item), and I've got a coupla questions.

1. The stock setup has a coupla breather hoses -- one to the air intake
(driver side) and one to the intake manifold (passenger side). Is there an
opportunity to improve things by changing this? I've seen actual
"breathers" -- in catalogs and mentioned in posts to the DML if I'm not
mistaken Should I just leave the stock setup there? What advantage is
there to the "breathers?

2. Instructions call the oil baffles (little pre-cut, pre-drilled pieces of
sheet) provided with the kit optional. Is it proper to assume that if I
punch out the knockouts and install *either* the stock breather hoses OR
some breather, then I should install the baffles?

Thanks in advance.
