Engine breather?

Hi all, Next subject the engine breather and in particular the catchment bottle, long story but I'm a bit short of room to locate the rear ignition coil and would like to locate it where the 1994 catchment bottle is. Well I've never had anything caught in the bottle and certainly have never looked at or emptied it, so does it really perform any function in reality or is it there to satisfy some legal type requirement? As it would suit my purpose far better to connect the engine breather direct to the air filter box and chuck the collection bottle in the hedge. Any thoughts or experiences to share? Thanks as always Bitza.
