if you are planning on running without a heater core, you can loop your coolant lines from the firewall. and if you dont care about your heater core just rip out the hoses.

if you look at it it goes from one hose into the core and out the core into a hose back to the block at another spot.

you have to run a hose from where it begins on the block and skip where it goes to the core and go straight to the other part of the block where it usually returns from the core. Very simple if you think about it.

and they will get stuck. we changed some on my friends b16 and we had to cut them. We also had to use some vasoline to get the new ones to fit on.

yeah it's perfectly fine. We had to do this on my dad's truck one of those hoses needed replacing and ford for some stupid reason had different diameters on each end of the hose so we just cut it and ran it in a loop till the new ones came in.
