AST delete

So this AST delete reservoir I recently got, doesn’t have a water line that (normally) goes to one of the bottom port on the radiator.

is this normal? I’ve seen other ast delete reservoirs with a water line that connects to the radiator, as well as to the coolant overflow.

This one seems like just a line to the coolant over flow.

in this case just delete the water hose that goes to the bottom of the radiator. cap off the bottom of the radiator? And run the one hose to the coolant overflow flow tank?

Yes
I recommend a short length of good hose with a bolt double clamped (NOT a cap) at the radiator. Good time to double check your overflow reservoir is at the full mark cold on the dipstick too.
And use care that the thin walled hose to the reservoir isn’t kinked or pinched.

Not all that familiar with that kit, maybe there’s a specific advantage that I’m not seeing. But you likely could’ve accomplished the same goal a lot simpler and cheaper with a Banzai billet neck and an AN plug for the deleted line to the radiator.
