Hey so I bought a race version throttle body that does not have the line off the side that hooks up to the side of the oil filler tube. I am still running EGR valve and emission controls.. just wondering if this line that usually goes into the intake track can just be hooked up to any vacuum source, like manifold vacuum. My other option is to drill a hole in the rubber elbow of my anderson power pipe, and have the line going from the filler to the side of that.. I would prefer if I could just hook it up to manifold vacuum though, so I don't have to mess with the anderson unit. It's a 75mm accufab tb with 4 inch opening with the 4 inch anderson unit and velocity meter, for my 347. So would that be okay? Thanks

The vacuum source shouldn't matter, it's used to open the valve and relieve/recycle crankcase pressure. As long as there's a vacuum source (tree under the upper intake should work) you should be good to go.
I'm sure someone can explain better than me, but the TB might be the Proper vacuum location for a reason.
