Default PCV; do I need to connect?

I recently made a cold air intake and was wondering if the PCV on a 99 vents itself or dose it need to be connected to the new air tube? Has anyone done this? Thanks

Your engine needs to be vented,but where depends on your emmision laws,here in ca that is an automatic failure if it is not vented to the intake. Any blowby needs somewhere to go besides on your engine.

So it will not vent itself. Living in MI allows me to not have to worry about emo laws but MPGs do. I guess I'll tap in a tube.
