heater core hoses

[cb7rush]

alright guys, so i just abot removed all the ac things and am in the process of removing the heat.

didnt have a problem with the heat, the problem was that my main engine harness didnt work, so i replaced it and the clips didnt reach, plus most of the ac stuff was already out of the car so i left it out and deleted it.

the heater core is my next job on hand. I know how to take it out, but what do i do about the two hosees that go to it..

do i

1. block the holes straight from the block with some little rubber blockers.

or

2. loop the lines with a 3/4 size that fits over the 5/8 line.

or

3. you tell me what is the right way to do it.

I know taht he dx model didnt have ac, but i havent seen the engine bay of a dx model before and dont know what they have..

let me know what to do..

if it was me i'd either loop it or plug it. if the nipple on the head is removable i'd remove the nipple and put a plug that way it'll look clean.

Loop it is what most people do. Or you can weld the plugs shut which a lot of people also do with race cars that don't run a heater core.

just loop them together

Looping would be the simple fix and also would leave the ability to reinstall later if wanting.

Loop them. You'll need to shorten the hose on the engine side of the firewall so that they connect a little easier when you mate them together. Then use a hose coupler to connect the two hoses. You can get the coupler at any auto supply store. I don't remember what the right size is, but if you buy the radiator hose repair kit one of three fits just right. The kit only cost about $5
