Tomorrow, I plan on slapping on a new Edelbrock water pump on the 5.0. Since I don't use my heater, would there be any problems in just installing some plugs in the 2 heater inlet/outlet holes on the pump housing?

Just route the outlet back into the inlet.

I wouldn't plug them both, just the one for the heater if you want. Leave the bypass hose fitting that goes to the T-stat connected

just use a piece of heater hose and make a loop to connect the 2 of them.
