73 transporter, 1700, dual kadrons.
There is a breather port on each head. Where should these be routed to?
I think they were originally piped to the air cleaner but I'm running with separate air cleaners on each carb. Should I make a breather tube with a filter, dump them to the ground, or pipe them back to the air filters?

Those actually are an emissions device that used to run to the air pump mounted to the front of the fan shroud. Pretty much worthless by now. Plug them up, cap them off. I've seen people just cut the tubes of, bend the ends over and crimp them, but I usually take those out and install a proper sized metric bolt to seal up the hole. As a side note, in a pinch, an alternator bolt for a 92-95 Civic fits the hole perfectly.
