What to do with te head cross-over pipe

Running a eddy 4v and non EGR intake, The carb has the PCV fitting in the front, so my passenger side-rear PCV has to be routed it that.

But I still have the cross-over pipe from the heads installed.
It, and the valve on top are brand new, caus I "thought" getting the emission crap done was going to be easy.

Now that all that stuff is gone, what to do with the crossover pipe and valve?

Can I just route it back to the original spot on the exhaust, or is that useless?

Should it be, (is it beneficial) to route it to the PCV line?

Should I cap it off at the valve on the crossover, and cap off where it joins the exhaust pipe?

W/o the various controls and the AIR pump the system doesn't work. So I'd pull the manifold and plug the holes with short 5/8-11 bolts and a washer under the head. And a bit of high-temp RTV would help seal it.
