Need to remove or reroute heater hoses for turbo. Diagrams anywhere?

I'm installing twin turbos and I would like to free up some space on the passengers side of the engine.

There is a heater hose line that runs on the top frame rail and I need it gone along with this vacuum operated 3 port hose junction. I'm wondering how the coolant needs to be rerouted to get rid of these.

Any diagrams with flow illustrations would be awesome.

If you no longer want heat, just put a pipe plug where it comes out of the manifold, cap the nipple on the radiator, drill 4, 1/8" holes in the 'stat and you're golden. Alternatively, run a hose from the manifold to the nipple. You'll have to get an adapter to go from 5/8" to 3/4" hose.
