Show me your breather box

Hi,
Please put your 2 cents in...

1, Do I want to connect my carbs to the breather box or not?

Some say the vacuum coming from the carbs is very important in ventilation, some claims that oil vapor foul the plugs and air cleaners always have oil.

2, I guess mine is just an empty box at the moment (I put a drain plug on the bottom but that's all). Should I put baffles/ sponge/ copper mesh in it? Does it importat to separate the upper/lower section for oil/vapor? What about little air cleaners, are they useless?

The box has only 4 AN8 fittings. Is AN8 big enough for the crank? If I decide to plug in the carbs they will use the upper two fittings, so I might connect the right ch's tube and crank's tube with a "T" before connecting the box. Is it ok to do that or better to put an other separated fitting to the box?

Engine is a 2056ccm, car is not a daily driver so not so concerned with emissions (sorry) but I am with the carbs.
Any ideas are well come as well as pictures of your setup!
Thnx
