The tubing is for the crankcase breathing. You can remove it, but you'll get oil all over the top of your cases.

Not really a good idea to remove the oil cooler, either, unless it didn't come standard on your bike.

will the bike function without the oil cooler though? I've got a 1980 honda cb750f im not sure if they come stock on the bike, but im trying for that naked bike look and the cooler doesn't really accommodate that i feel.
 
It will function, yes, for a while. But if your bike was designed to run with an oil cooler, "looks" is a pretty poor reason to remove it.
 
That's a stock Honda cooler on CBX750/CB750/900DOHC
Bike will run without it, but, the big ends will fail
I hate doing crank changes on the damn things ;D
