I have done the opposite, removing the plug and installing a road draft
tube on my late TR4.

If anything what you have in mind should be even easier, but...

I installed the tube because the small opening on the TR4 valve cover could
simply not relieve enough crankcase pressure - oil was oozing from every
pore.   Perhaps the TR4A system is more effective though.
