[Roadsters] heater core hose

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

You can remove that without any adverse effects.  That hose warms the manifold and will help the engine smooth out more quickly in cold weather.  You will have to plug the outlet on the water pump  and the front and rear inlets on the manifold.  The manifold inlet/outlets are a bugger to get out of the manifold.  That could be a show stopper for you if they are really frozen in place.   There is an inlet and outlet hose from the heater core, you could even connect those together to close that part of the system off.  Have fun, Dewey
