My modified '68 Mustang engine - 347 stroker - has a PCV valve on one cover and a filler/vent on the other. That was "best practice" when I built the engine a couple of years ago. I could plate over the vent if needed - it's a classic square Edelbrock style fitted to the upper side of the cover.

For a Cobra that needed to pass the BAR, it's easy enough to have, erm, more than one set of valve covers.
