I have a 92 5.0, and I have taken out all the vacume lines and other hoses that are not needed for a drag car. One thing I can not figure out is, what is the purpose of the 1/2 hose that comes out of the housing to the water pump? I deleted and pluged it up about a year ago and have not had any problems with cooling what so ever. I have no AC or Heat either. I recently went to a CSI electric water pump and it came with plugs to plug the pump where the 1/2 inch hose would normally go. My next question is where can I get a thermostat housing that does not have the outlet. I would rather not have one at all then plug it. I ordered a CSI swivel housing but it has the outlet despite the service rep telling me it did not. I was looking on the CSI website and it looks like the Big block housing does not have the outlet. Will this fit on my small block manifold. look here: http://www.csiperformance.com/cooling_.html
anyway has anyone else done this to their motors? but most important I just want to know what the hoses purpose is?
