coolant hose question...

this is on a tpi engine... if i were to do away with the heat in my car, could i put a brass plug in the hole in the front of the intake manifold where there is a coolant passage for coolant to go through all the hoses to the heater core and back to the radiator.

basically thered be just two hoses to the engine, the upper and lower rad hoses and an overflow bottle.
