The oil tank is typically not used anymore. It was where all the drivetrains oils vented to, but today, we use breathers on the engine on the valve covers, the trans has it's own and the Kirkham's provide the one for the rear, so I believe these days the guys who put them on probably do it for the original look and of course, you can make them functional too. I was going to put one on, but they were out of stock and then I did not feel like doing it later. But maybe one of these days.
In short, it's your call. If you want the look go for it.
