Please help, oil cooler problem

I got rid of my ac and heater core in the car. I have an oil cooler in my engine. One of the hoses went from the cooler to the heater core in the back of the motor. How can I run this cooler now? I am clueless as to how it goes or if it will work right. Thanks

the only problem is that I removed my heater core in the rear of the car at the firewall (those two pipes in your pic). Therefore I cant run the hoses there. Is it worth it to keep the cooler. Is there any other way?

Im not sure but I know that #4 has antifreeze flowing to it. Maybe it opens and closes to let the fluid flow. I would assume that if you dont have one then the fluid flows freely and this could not be the cause of overheating.

alright, you need to run the hose coming out of the throttle body #3 straight to he IN of the oil cooler, and bypass all that other stuff.. and keep 7 coming out of it. that SHOULD do the trick, let me know

92RSB4C - that is the heater control valve which opens and closes alowing coolant to flow into the heater core, or it bypasses the heater core and lets the coolant run either to the oil cooler or back to the radiator
