Removed BAC/TB coolant. Can I plug hoses?

I removed the BAC and TB coolant stuff.. Now, I have a coolant line running out of the rear passenger side of the block (that used to come out of the TB i think), and one coming out of the water pump itself (that used to go into the bac...i think). Can I plug these, or do i have to actually connect them?

Connect them, or you wont have any collant flow.

The 2 holes now in the TB can just be left alone.

EDIT: Wait, im not sure if that true- You dont have a BAC anymore, so im not sure if you need the collant or not....
we'll let some of the smarter people tell you, but i think you should be able to just block them off.

just connect them, they have nothing to do with the bac. look at the bac pipe it's just straight through. the bac just holds it in place.

why did you remove the bac???

I have zero accessories anymore...so I don't need the bac. And with the TB mod, there is nothing there that the coolant would flow thru. I suppose I could connect them, but I'd really rather plug them off.. Is this a bad idea?

Most people crimp the ends of the pipes and weld them shut. That's what was done in my car.
