are you asking if you can remove the heater hoses and the heater core from the coolant system all together? if so then yea they can be removed but you'll obviously not have much heat on the "heat/hot" setting. just make sure that you still have some coolant going to the egr spacer. despite what some believe, ford put it there for a reason and it actually cools the intake temp charge using the coolant. just jump the hoses and thats all.... hope this helps you a bit

the two hoses going to the heatercore can be joined together so that the heatercore is eliminated. JOIN THE HOSES. when i bought my car they had capped the 2 lines and everytime i would floor the gas one of the caps would burst and spray coolant all over. its a circuit, so if you take off the heatercore keep it as a circuit

You can remove the hard lines and put the ECT in the hole in the intake where you removed the piping from.

ahh k yes ur right!!! I have another question now just curious how important is it to have the coolant running through ur throttle body?? I found a way to eliminate the hardlines and still keep the coolant running through the throttle body but it would be nice to be able to eliminate the coolant line going to the throttle body clean up the engine bay even more
