Looks good! Though you might get oil mist blown all over your engine with no PCV provisions...
any suggestions? not an issue yet, but would like to do something about it before it starts.

Are you talkin about the tube on the oil filler neck or the actual Pcv? You could just get the proper size line to hook up to the pcv and get a little tiny filter from autozone and hook up the pcv line to the filter and mount it on the firewall or sumthing. You should be fine leaving the oil filler neck line open, it just acts like a vent. I ran mine open for a long time and never had any mist on the engine.
In a SEFI setup, air actually gets sucked in through that nipple on the filler neck (because the valve is in the intake manifold, sucking up whats in the lifer valley) but right now the crankcase pressure has nowhere to go except out that nipple. In a carb/CFI setup it goes in one valve cover and out the other. I know because I effectively clogged my PCV system after the SEFI conversion by leaving the valve in the oil filler cap (thanks Ivan)
A tube with an aftermarket breather filter is a good start but it might get oily pretty quick.
That's a clean looking engine! You might want to get some sort of ram air cleaner as that would provide cooler air rather than the warmish air under the hood.
