Your MkIII's gearbox should already have a breather (a small brass 'bush' in the top of the inner cover, directly inboard of where the cable enters the box) so drilling the inspection cover shouldn't be necessary? http://www.oldbritts.com/12_065199.html
I can't really see how pressure could build up in the box anyway? As the clutch cable entry isn't sealed, and even if it was, any excess pressure would escape up the cable.

I can't really see that a loose fitting clutch cable resting in an open abutment in the casing is likely to offer much, if any, resistance to escaping air from the box , I think that would be stretching the imagination just a little too far in my opinion.
