On the SU setup, that hose connects to ports on the carbs so that
the crankcase gases can be directed into the combustion chambers. I
suppose you might be able to connect it to the intake manifold thru a
restrictor if the Mikunis don't have such a port. There may be better
ideas from other listers. You might also just direct it downward as a
road draft tube, as on earlier cars.
The CC gases are partly blowby past the rings from the combustion
process. All engines have a certain amount of blowby. Not to worry at
this point. Don't cap it. The CC needs to breath.
