Default Are heater core outputs needed?

I'm swapping my L27 into my Chevette and I'm not going to install enviromental controls.

I've got these two coolant lines coming out for the heater core that aren't needed and I'd rather not have a rubber hose on them. Does any know how far back I can obsruct them or if they're required for proper coolant flow?

Your best bet would be to fab up a u bend that keeps the stock flow w/o doing anything. Heck..in your climate..I might be inclined to run them up front to another cooler

Bill, You're a genius.

I'll keep the outputs.
