I would keep as much of that under the hood as I could. Those valves are prone to leakage, and can wreak havoc on your interior. Keep it under the hood.

I just pitched mine. I ran a line directly from the heater core into the throttle body.

You guys would laugh at me...my old '85 GMC tow truck has no A/C and gets really hot in the summer. So I went to Home Depot, bought an inline water valve (like on the pipes in your basement), and spliced it inline with one of my heater core hoses.
