I ran my car with a pipe into the air cleaner, not because fumes were a problem but to try and reduce condensation and short main bearing life. I am not sure that drawing the oil mist from the valves is a good idea. A tube to below is possibly prefereble if you do not get whiffs.
For decades my Minx with a down tube suffered heavy blow by due wide top ring gaps and later broken rings to the extent that followers occasionally stopped me to comment on the "steam" issuing below. Performane and economy and oil consumption were all OK. Eventually remedied, idling and slow running and engine idle noise much improved but other factors barely changed.
