Default Coolent Hoses - Needed?

I am in the process of removing all the coolent hoses from my stock b16a civic. Since the car is only used only in the summer for track days and weekend use, I would like to know what coolent lines are needed...and which are not needed???? The less hoses the better in my opinion....plus less confusion and more space under the hood..

I don't have any pics right now but I want will try to post some tonight to help explain with greater detail....

Anyway...On my 86 ITC Civic I am only running hoses to the head and the block, but it is a carbed ew1. With FI I don't want to not run a hose that will screw with a sensor or something. Additionally, I was looking to use a remote filter and cooler, but noticed that there are small lines coming from the coolent pipe (don't know exact name) in the back of the motor and don't know how to plug them off without pulling the intake??

Or would an aftermarket intake make this an eaiser job, due to less vacuum/coolent lines. I have seen several cheapies on ebay, but don't know how much they suck????

I guess, as with my itc civic, any hoses that I do not use can be tapped and plugged? Or is there a better way?? I plan on useing ss hose and fittings for any of the remaining small hoses, vac lines, etc....

Any feedback would be great...just started this winter project and don't want to screw it up already!!!!

Thanks again!
