The plug on the tb that remains after you remove the fitv is for the fitv. So just plug it and leave it alone. Run a line from the thermostat housing to the iacv and another one right back to the thermo housing.

Yeah, it doesn't matter which way the coolant flows through it or anything....worse case scenario you have it hooked up to 2 outlets from the block and nothing flows through it...oh well.

Take the hose that comes off the thermostat housing and loop it around to another port on the thermostat housing. Just bypass it all.

I have not had any FITV, IACV or other coolant routed to the intake manifold/TB for years without issue.

Remove it. Don't worry about it.
