Default 1992 throttle body by-pass-help please

Hello,

First of all, Thank you for looking, I am not real mech. inclined.
What is the best way to bypass the throttle body(water) on a 1992?
I have searched the threads, but I guess I just can not find what I need.Everything shows for another year that does not sound like mine. maybe 92 different?
1)are the 2 hoses (one from radiator and one from the heater) the same size?
can I just run one longer one from heater to radiator hose, to eliminate splices?
2) if not, can I find an adapter at depot or lowes that will work?

Thanks,

The general idea, is to just divert the water away from the throttle body.

Easiest way is to stop by the parts store and buy a connector. Disconnect both hoses from the throttle bottle and join together in front and under the air intake.
