That was for the very, very early PCV system and they just never changed the casting and they chanced the PCV. As was said, nothing goes there.

I believe this hole is for the head to allow oil through. Not sure why the hole is there exactly but I am pretty sure that nothing goes there.

Air pump system (B 5254 S)
During cold starts, an electrical air pump is activated which directs air to the exhaust channels. This initiates a secondary combustion of exhaust gases which helps minimize hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels and reduces warm-up time for the catalytic converter.
The pump begins to function when the engine is started and the car begins to move. It remains in operation until the three-way catalytic converter has reached normal operating temperature. A sound may be audible from the air pump during this warm-up period. This is normal.
