Are you talking about the oil separator that is inside the v/c where the PCV hose attaches and then goes to the manifold?

That is called a oil separator, when the intake sucks the gases out of the crankcase through that tube (PCV tube) that separator keeps it from sucking the oil out of the engine.
You can remove it and clean it with carb cleaner, let it dry and then reinstall.
No it does not need to be there but yes it should be there.

What kind of pump are you planning on using? If youve got enough blowby to create any significant crankcase pressure with the factory breather tube, then a small diaphragm pump is not going to cut it here.

If I were you, Id simply increase the size of the breather tube to remove any restriction and keep the crankcase pressure down. I would keep the breather attached to the air intake in order to keep the oil smell down outside. And I would leave the PCV in place for the same reason.
