Ghetto but it worked for my friend, just cutted the hose where it came off the block, left about 1 1/2" of hose, then plugged the hose with a bolt then clamped it tight.

no exp with a teg but i just had to do this to my vette yesterday since the heater core took a dump and created this huge steam cloud in the interior. normally what a guy does is take a small piece of plastic or copper barbed pipe and connect the two hoses that ran to the heater core creating a bypass. this keeps the cooling system doing what it is supose to and lets a guy pull the heater and all the crap up there.
