My 1955 292 valley cover uses the rear down draft tube.  It has a large flat oil baffle plate about mid way inside of the cover.  One side of the baffle is broken off.  I plan to use the down tube. Do I need this baffle or can I remove it?

That's what I was looking for.  Thanks.   Is there any performance advantage to replacing the down draft tube with a PVC?

No performance advantage either way.  The PCV valve does allow for a cleaner and less leak prone engine.  Potential oil drips from the road draft tube are eliminated while the PCV valve itself does permit excess crankcase pressure to be relieved by lieu of a negative pressure on the crankcase (vacuum) thus taking some of the load off of both the front and rear crankshaft seals.
