Ok, so before I ask my question keep in mind I HAVE searched, with no info specific to what I need to know. I've recently deleted the heater core in my 95 S14, to free up room under the dash and in the engine bay (hoses, valves, intake manifold mess). In doing so, it was clear to me I could also clean up quite a bit of the mess on the intake manifold, so I went ahead and did this as well. My question is this - what do I do with the two lines in PHOTO 2? I see no reason I can't just cap them, as coolant used to flow through them before, but not any more. Is there anything else possible, for a cleaner or more efficient seal?
Also, the throttle body coolant line delete is puzzling me. The nipple that comes off of the intake plenum (PHOTO 3) and heads toward the throttle body - what do I do with that? Sorry ahead of time for seeming so ignorant, I just want to be right...the first time. I dont think simply capping this nipple is the answer, as coolant will be flowing to this area. Maybe I can loop that coolant flow somewhere? Or grind the nipple off and weld it up?? Any input is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
