If there's no place for it, just splice the in/out coolant line together and ditch the valve. It only controls the high idle when the engine is cold (works like a T-stat) and heats up your TB when the car is warm resulting in higher intake air temps.

I'm assuming that Skunk 2 doesn't feel that this functionality is necessary for a race application and designs their TBs appropriately.

However, since I have no specific personal knowledge of the S2 TB, make sure there aren't any ports that are left uncovered and would introduce a vacuum leak if you delete the valve.
