Default throttle body bypass

so today i am going to bypass my throttle body, but instead of using the ecklers coolant connector i am planning on just capping the coolant lines where they start. any one see a problem with this? just checking to see if i might miss something that could cause me a problem. It just seems like capping them is easier than connecting lines that are usless.

I believe you need the coolant line to supply coolant to the heater(?). I recently did the by-pass by just running a single hose from the heater to the intake manifold fitting.
If infact that line isnt needed then I would do what you are thinking of doing. It would help clean up the engine compartment.

For your '92,

1996 upper radiator hoses are one piece. That eliminates the T fitting.

Generic heater hose will eliminate the other T.
