An easy way to check is to cover the rear hole with a gasket (with the vent on top) and install a breather in the opposite valve cover.

Forgetaboutit. A PCV is a controlled air leak; one is plenty.

I tried several types of filters in my rear vent; nothing worked for me. Gessford Machine (and others) sell and install the rear vent systems, so I'm sure they know how to make them work; it was just easier for me to use the valve cover.
Again, just my 2 cents...
