It would be a PITA to get the hose off the heater core itself without dig in the dash to get to it. You can either cut them at the heater box, & make a loop, or just pop in some 1/2 NPT pipe plugs on the water pump, & intake.

Sounds like your heater core broke ??? You do know winter is coming!!!

ok, so basically you're saying that I can just remove the hoses (i plan to pull out the core since i have my dash half apart anyway ) and loop on the pump where the hoses go in /out of the firewall?
