Default MiniRam question, another

OK, the stock manifold has that small, 3/8 cooling hose that goes to it. the Super Ram accepted the same feed into/out of the intake manifold.

The Mini Ram does not accept this hose.

I assume just block it off?

how did you guys handle this?

Hey guys, how did you block it off? Is there a neat, elegant way to do it? it goes into that square block, should I tap the block and put a screw in it?

Is there a way to do it that doesn't look like a hack job?

Thanks

The '90/'91 has weird coolant routing. make sure when you're done you have bleed every last bubble of air out of the system. I've heard of people blowing up radiators due to steam, and overheating because of air..

are you talking about the one by the CTS? If so, mine was drilled and tapped sort of...I'd have to get a pic of it.
