removal of overflow coolant tank

when you remove/eliminate this, what do you do with the hose that comes from it?

what if you eliminated the AST as well? where would you route the hose?

Why would you want to remove the coolant overflow tank? If you do, you'll have to keep topping up coolant.

You do not want to remove the overflow tank. Where is the coolant going to go when expanding and contracting?

I can think of a lot of other thing I would rather remove then the overflow tank and ABS. Remove the oil pan and one of the rotors to save some weight.
