TB coolant lines are gone.....

Well after the last owner chose to use NO antifreeze-
my coolant system is pretty bad off.

Bad enough that I had to remove the coolant lines from the TB because the connections were so badly decayed.

Now I ran a new line- from the back of the water pump- to the nipple on the block itself.

I plan on keeping the BAC and just removing the hose connectors-

Is this ok?

I left the cold start thermal wax, and the secondaries on there.
However I do see why removing them would get a better throttle responce- they are sticky and slow opening- Im going to lube them good and see if that frees them up.

If it's a turbo.....just remove that thin rod with the spring and tie the linkage to full open. Takes thirty minutes or less from start to finish. It's located on the front of the throttle body.

i just left the springy rod connected and cut the rod coming from the vacuum actuator. i guess either way works all the same.
