I ran an MG Midget in the 1980s and it suffered bad crankcase pressurisation (used to force oil through the rear crank seal and soak the clutch)
I fitted an electric fuel pump and made a breather tube to vent out of the original fuel pump aperture. The tube just fed to a plastic catch-bottle
and all was well - no air filter on the catch tank in those days! 
I don't think it matters where the tank is fitted - mine was just strapped in a corner of the engine bay.
