Icon6 B16 Valve cover breather block-off?

Has anyone ever removed the valve cover nipple on a B series DOHC VTEC valve cover and blocked it off? Might sound crazy to most, but I'm using the 2 nipples on the back of the block to run my catch can. What have some of you used?

yes, we blocked it off on our turbo car and will do so on the project all motor car too probably - since we have 2 bungs in the front of the valve cover and 2 on the back of the block we have no use for that at all

we just took out the nipple, welded up the hold, grinded it flat and then coated the entire valve cover once we put the new bungs in up front to still give a great look

Here's a better question:

Is this a safe practice to block this off seeing as how I'm using the "Endyn" setup?
