Default New Small Engine Carburetor Lacks Port for Crankcase Breather Hose

I was lucky to find a carburetor that would fit a very old Tecumseh
engine, but it lacks a port for the crankcase breather hose, which the
original one had.
Can I retrofit a port on the air filter bell? Or, in general,
can I retrofit a port anywhere as long as the hose opening is in
contact with filtered air?
What will happen if I close off the air breather hose
altogether? Is this an option?
Help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!
Frank
