newby with some questions on an 89'

so I pick up a half finished rx7 afew weeks back, and I have been slowly putting back together, I have a new radiator for it, and know were the radiator hoses/heater hoses go, but what about the 2 small lines coming out of the bottom of the raditor pointed towards the engine go?
haynes isn't very helpfull with this, also, I removed the air pump ( no emissions were I live and this isn't going to be a DD), is there any extra ports that I should clog or just leave it?

thanks, this is my first rotary so sorry if I sound like a goon or whatever, just want to get this done soon and right

Removing your air pump will actually hurt your engine performance, both your 5th and 6th and the VDI are operated by the air pump. You can find more information at this link: http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/2n...s_removal.html

cool, thanks for the info, I'll hook it back up, BUT, what about the line from the pump to the cat?, it was kinda ghetto rigged and the exhaust is pretty shitty so is there going to be any negative on getting rid off that?

thanks again
