That looks like some kind of home made bypass. If you are wanting to use the heater, then make sure you have the rails installed that go from the front of the intake back to the hater core. If you are wanting to not use the heater, but make it look cleaner, make sure the black rails I just told you about are removed. Then you move the coolant temp sensor that was attached to those rails directly into the lower intake. Then, put a cap over the lower left hole on the waterpump, and you are good to go. you can see how I bypassed it in these two pics little bit. If you look just to the left of the distributor, you will see where I plugged the gold sensor into the intake. You can also see the plug on the waterpump.

to answer your question, you can hook those back up to the throttle body. they are to warm the throttle body, and not really nessesary though, most people bypass them though just like that, that i have seen. it is the lazy way though.

you gotta watch if you hook the heater core back up. make sure it doesnt leak, or that it isnt clogged. theres no real good reason to keep it in there and just bypass it unless theres a problem with it. not that i can think of anyway. just somethin to check for
