Need help routing/blocking remaining water lines.
 
THere are 2 water lines im not sure about.

Water line that goes to the heater core(i think) near the oil press sending unit. (can this be blocked off) OR does it need to be rerouted?

The other one is the nipple facing upwards on the rear iron kinda near the edge of the primary fuel rail. (block or route elsewhere)?

heater core: this can be blocked off if you don't want heat... you can just cap both sides of it (one near the oil pressure sending unit, and the other is on the lower pipe of the radiator)

nipple: stock, that nipple goes into the thermowax in the throttle body, through the throttle body then out around to a bracket the BAC valve, after that it goes into the water pump housing. if you're not using the thermowax you can just cap both ends of this and you should be fine.

make sure you cap these well though, they will be under pressure. I used special water jb weld, RTV, a vaccuum cap and a hose clap on each ends of the thermowax line :p:

useless comment above ^^^
blocking them is a good thing. 20+ year old heaters tend to leak badly now you wouldn't like coolant entering your interior right ?

seriously... that doesn't even make any sense... why would getting rid of your heat make you a ricer?

He lives in Florida... He doesn't need heat :p:
