Heater Hose
Like most C3s my heater core went belly up. I live in Oceanside Ca so don't have a real need for a heater. I conected the upper and lower hose's with a 3/4" x 5/8 in adapter. My question is will it hurt to remove the hose's and block the intake manifold and water pump hose outlets. I have been told that it is best to let the water circulate through the hose's or the engine will over heat. I have seen pictures of the heater core being remove from the engine compartment on a non A/C 78. Any thoughts.

After my heater core went I pulled it out, didn't put a new one back in. Plugged the water pump and intake. Works just fine! So if you did choose to go that route you shouldn't have any problems.
