It's not an ideal thing because the intake air and PVC draw would both be in the lifter valley. It probably wouldn't pull fumes from the valve covers as well as the "correct" set-up, but it will eliminate the gasket sucking problem.
Yes, and just drilling a hole in the valve cover for the PCV valve is not enough since there won't be a baffle present. There is a baffled gromment you can get to take care of that issue. If you want to go that route I'll find the link for the gromment (I saw one not long ago)
