water hose ?'s

i would like to know if i could cap off all heater hoses and the cooling lines that go into my EGR spacer cause i got a leak that i just cant find and i'm in melbourne fl anyway so it only gets cold maybe a couple of days outta the year. also is there any hidden hoses that i would need to know about or does everything stem off the water pump? thanks in advance :D
 
Yes you can block those hoses off or plug them, it will not effect you at all.

you need to block of the one port on the water pump but leave the bypass hose to the thermostat housing or you'll have issues.
 
You could just connect the two hoses that go into the EGR spacer together and just bypass it. My friends done this before. I would suggest getting an EGR spacer though, would look better than one with 2 hoses disconnected.
