Question about rerouting breather line to air

I have a 98 evo head breather motor. To get rid of drippy air filter, I lengthened the outlet hose and ran under frame to the atmosphere.
I was wondering, since originally the hose vented inside air filtered area to carb, it was adding some air to the air/fuel mixture slightly? If you put your hand over the hose when engine is running, you do feel air pushing (and of course oil mist).
I wonder if it affects maybe the air/fuel mixture at idle or so?
I have noticed a little difference on cool damp morning lately.
It's a mikuni hsr42 out of the box for an evo (stage one style headwork and a ev27 cam)
I'm no official mechanic, I'm interested in others opinions
Thanks

The crankcase vent is irrelevant to the air/fuel mixture.
