Default 96-LT1 Throttle Body By Pass Question

Without looking at my 96 throttle body (I thought it was the same as the 89 Coupe I had), I bought a TB by pass kit ($9). When I went to install it, I noticed that I could disconnect the incoming hose, eliminate the out going hose from the TB and connect the incoming hose directly (no splicing) to the out going connection point. Is this correct?

Thanks

You betcha!

Kinda funny how the folks that sell those kits don't bother to tell us!

I did what you are talking about to mine. Worked perfectly!

Same here. It won't work on all years, though, so it's best to check before hacking away without a kit in-hand.

Then I put some dust caps on the entry to the throttle body
