AST Removal
So basically, what I've done is remove the stock rad cap and base, and put on a FC's cap and base, plugged the nipple on the water neck, and plugged the nipple on the bottom of the rad. Then from the FC's base I rad a 3/8th hose to the over flow tank.
Sounds good?

The hose leading from the housing goes to the bottom of the radiator, not really where you're likely to find trapped air. And granted it's not very big, but wouldn't it also present a by-pass to the radiator....allowing coolant to (essentially) return right back into the motor?

I have just done mine.I also retained the hose from the bottom of the radiator to the t-stat housing.I fabricated a piece of SS pipe basically to replace the ast and fitted a plug with a 0.089in hole(yes I measured the size of the hole in the ast).I will post apic later.
