The car is coming back together nicely and I've got the motor in the car. one thing I remember is how crowded it was in front of the motor with all the hoses. I have plugged the ports where the hoses for the heater core would go on yhe water pump. that leaves me with three remaining lines two large and one small. I would really prefer to just have the two large hoses eliminating the small one however that would leave an open port on my radiator and it wouldn't utilize the entire cooling area. What different radiators and or hoses have you guys used making a little simpler up front.

stock radiator, with a cap over the oil cooler feed line port.....it doesn't decrease cooling capacity.....it would actually increase the flow in and out of the main port of the rad by a miniscule amount, since that little port won't be a pressure drop anymore

So are y'all telling me I don't have to hook that line up to anything and it won't leak because if I can delete that hose I would like tohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170728/44a035fe48ddbfac5f3ca84049d93b74.jpg

then you have to put a hose clamp on it
then you tighten it with a nut driver or screw driver

And do the same thing with the connection on the water pump.
