I don't think dirt is likely to be much of a problem, but you'll pollute a bit 
more.

Don't plug it. When they phased it out they made other provisions. The FI cars 
have that tube drain back down into the filler pipe. If you wanted to, I think 
you could add this to your engine. I think all you'd need would be the breather 
box, filler pipe, and connecting hose from a 68-71 FI engine. 72-3 FI engines 
did something completely different, and more complicated.
