LT1 with 3rd gen radiator

Hi everybody,

I have a few questions about LT1 swap into 3rd gen with 3rd gen radiator.

Here You can see 3rd gen radiator pipes:


I connected two pipes like that:



This pipe goes here I think? Left little pipe is for bottle I know.



So, that's what's left, three "ports" on water pump. Pipe left is from throttle body. I have two more pipes from oil cooler also.



I don't have heater in cabin and I don't have to connect cabin radiator so where to put all those pipes on water pump?

Thank You very much in advance.

On the LB9 there is a pipe going from throttle body to just under the throttle body. On my rad I have 1 heater hose, 2 water pump hoses (top and bottom), and 1 overflow. The heater hose goes to a intersection of hoses, one going to the firewall and one going into the throttle body. I could get pictures if you want.
