A904 VENT RELOCATE?

well I was planning on starting to work on the car, but my washer machine took a bump. so had to go buy new ones for wifey
my question is.... Have anyone out there plugged the font pump vent off, and relocated the vent elsewhere before? I have it apart already, really didn't want to weaken the case by drilling it in wrong spot. I've also heard of in the of of tail shaft assy? thought I saw a relocation kit online before. anyone out there doing , or done this? any pics at all? thanks guys... accumulating the rebuild parts one piece at a time...
also is the front band strut different form a904 to 727? didn't find a band strut for a904, lots of 727 and one place calms fits both?
