does the the crankcase breather go to anywhere (such as hose or air cleaner)? does it go beneath the carb via a pcv valve? if it's the former, a breather on its own doesn't really matter, i've torn mine off and am using one of those little chrome redline filters
but if we're talking a pcv system then it's a good idea to keep it, as your oil will foul a LOT quicker without it hooked up, which isn't good for engine lubrication and longevity. if you don't like the idea of crankcase gases in your combustion chamber, you can run one of those $1 fuel filters inline to clean the air up. or you can go to the trouble of installing an oil air separator (catch can). i personally think a catch can works a lot better with engine vacuum still hooked up to it, some people beg to differ
hope this helps
