Would hate to suggest that you could do away with the vent, as if pressure does build it will seek the path of least resistance, which will probably be one of the new gaskets you installed.

That's a good point about any pressure buildup w/o a vent would just force it out other places. I haven't seen any come out the vent but one of my persistent leaks has been around the top plate cover gasket. As you can see the top of the gasket was just pooled in lubricant. I may just have to RTV the heck out of the gasket - top and bottom.
