pcv valve removal
i am wondering how to remove the pcv tube that is coming off of the passenger side valve cover. im gonna run a breather instead of worrying about emmisions crap. is there replacement breathers i can find and use?

Rather than remove it consider restricting the incomming air. This will reduce the "metered air leak" effect and add a little vacuum to the crankcase which will improve idle quality and oil leak control.

i dont want a tube running into my air cleaner anymore. its not the one that goes into the face of the carb, it the one that (obviously) runs into the air cleaner. i heard it is to recirculate crankcase air through the combustion to reduce emmisions. up here in the neck of the woods i could care less about emmisions, i want power and looks. so anyway, is there a way to replace it?

the one going from the valve cover to the air cleaner, usually on the passenger side valve cover is just a breather. You can replace it with a breather (filtered) that just plugs into the hole.
