PCV location

I have a 351M that im replacing with a rebuilt 400. On the 351 with the 2v carb there is a spacer under the carb. The pcv goes from the valve cover and a hoes goes to the spacer under the carb.
It has a whole in the back of it.
My question is, do i have to feed the pcv to this spacer or can it be tapped into the intake manifold somewhere else?

Thanks for the help.

It's better if the PCV can draw from/feed to both sides of the carb but not entirely necessary. I did the same thing on my 400. Drilled and tapped a hole in the intake just below the carb. Works fine!
