theorectically you can put a screw in the hose, but i wouldnt recommend it. block it off at the fitting welded on the oilpan

stock header and a filter on your TB FTW

What kind of fitting is on the oilpan now? Is it a threaded AN fitting? a barbed fitting? or a smooth piece of pipe that you just slipped a rubber hose over?

if it's a threaded AN you can get AN caps for those/ If it's a barbed or smooth pipe welded to your oilpan take your oil return line with you to home depot or Ace hardware. Find something large and metallic that you can use for a plug. Make sure the plug goes onto the return hose really snug. Get some spare return line and cut a small section so that one ned goes over your oilpan fitting and the other end goes over your plug, use some hose clamps on the plug and oilpan fitting, and you're set.

he didnt say weld the hole shut. if there is an A-N fitting in the pan, they do make bulkhead caps for them, but if it is a piece of pipe, put a sacrificial hose on it and clamp a bolt in it.

Cray91 went many months with no turbo with his oil lines hooked up. He put one of my adjustable restrictors on the end of the feed and shut it completely and it sealed it. On the drain side he used a 4 inch piece of hose with a bolt clamped into it.
