Morning wise sages,

I've unhooked my heater hoses to the water heater and bypassed and to the heater core and bypassed for now. I want to take the extra hoses out of the loop, just a leak waiting to happen. Am I correct in assuming that all I need to do is tee the hoses off the back of the heads and run them to the 3/4 barb on the water pump. Thanks.

Never pull out ther hos as once that is done, you will have a very rough
time pushing it in the coach.
We Duct tape the new hos onto the old and PULL it in.

I planned on leaving the ones to the water heater in place. I forgot to mentioned I have edelbrock heads with hoses on the back of them.

I’d just go to NAPA and buy a U or J molded heater hose and put in place of long loop. I can’t see what you have as aftermarket, but this way emulates the original flow.
