Yeah, just plug it with a grommet. Happy turkey day!

Looks like a rat took some nibbles on your old one!
For those that have a heater, Mr T still sells it. Part #90480-01167.
That hole to the right of the heater port is for the vent drains. Mr T still sells the grommet for that also but I dont have the part number handy.
It does not. I believe my 74 is a non-usa model though so might be not a good reference. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Has anyone put a breather filter on this rather than run it back to the base of the carburetor or is there a need for it to go there?
It doesn't need to go to the carb, I think you have yours plumbed in to where the EGR used to go. Probably doesn't matter
The PCV valve needs intake manifold vacuum.
The engine doesn't need a PCV valve...
No engine "needs" a PCV valve. It's an emission device that's not really that detrimental to the engines performance. It's designed to burn blowby and oil fumes that are created in the crankcase. Prior to the pcv a lot of manufacturers used a road draft tube venting gases to the atmosphere.
Yep. But the OP asked...
I am sure that somewhere in the history of Landcruiser somebody has done just that. Probably more than once. Some people will run a catch can. Keeping it stock really isn't much of a problem unless when you want to lift the valve cover.
Technically, the air is already filtered by the carbs air filter inside the air filter housing.

Today I replaced the grommet and put in SOR's heater hose blank grommet. Removed the heater (bypass) hose from the block to the bottom of the radiator. And I plugged the 2" mystery hole. Just to clean things up a bit.

I didn't like the look of the breather so I just replaced the case vent with new hose and cleaned up. I still want to do something different with the choke cable and I want to redo the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carb and hard pipe it in.

Here is a before and after look. Removed the emission stuff (for the most part, still a couple things to clean up).
That is one heck of a choke cable! Can you just cut it down to fit? you can probably get rid of the "Warm Pull" knob and it's cable too...

Can anyone tell me the difference in head bolts for 1958-9/73 and 9/73-1/75? and if they are or are not compatible?
SOR has them listed separately.
Part number 050-48A - Fits 1958-9/73 F gas engine
Part number 050-48B - Fits 9/73-1/75 F gas engine
SOR has them listed separately.
Part number 050-48A - Fits 1958-9/73 F gas engine
Part number 050-48B - Fits 9/73-1/75 F gas engine
The Late F engine head bolts are an inch longer than the others (says Mark A.)

I also shortened the choke cable and then removed the "Warm Pull" knob, just to clean it up a little more. Now I need to find a 15mm firewall plug.
