Useless coolant lines??

I did the TB Mod a while back and now am removing the vac rack to simplify things. Since no more coolant is running through the TB, can I block off these lines to get rid of the coolant lines that run above the engine block??

I know alot of us TII owners hate that small 90 degree coolant hose behind the TB. Has anyone done this before?

You're going to want to run the coolant line from the top of the rear housing to the water pump, bypassing the TB/BAC valve.

Or even use u-bend adapters to connect the links to re-route the Coolant Line. If you do choose to cap of the remenants, be sure that It will be able to withstand
11-15psi.

I currently have it like that but wanted to get rid of that line all together. So capping both nipples off won't cause any cooling issues? I'm almost certain that it wont but would like to get a second or third opinion.

Thanks for the replies guys
