block it off or weld that bitch shut. the only problem you would have is when adapting a water temp gauge in back of the water pump housing. the hole is too small. On a 6port, the intake temp is controlled by coolant. there is a nipple in the rear housing then back to the water pump housing.

The nipple is for thermowax. Block it.
The thermostat housing tube pipe thing is straght on the GSL-SS and at a 45° angle on 12A and older engines. Swap it.
The cast iron housing is otherwise pretty similar. You can just as easily remove the ECU temp sensor and cut some NPT threads in it for a guage sender as you can with a choke holder switch on a 12A housing. The size will be different, but most aftermarket guages come with three popular adaptor sizes. Use the medium (1/2"?) one on 12A housings (and the proper tap) and the small one (3/8" I think; NPT is measured dfferently) on GSL-SE and 2nd gen housings.
