Default LT1 Heater core delete (Need pictures of looped or plugged waterpumps)

I've deleted the heater core and the upper lines on the passenger side. When I went to loop the waterpump hoses, I noticed that they went under the driver's side and into the oil filter (or at least close to it). What's the deal? This is on a 95 Camaro LT1 m6.

Please attach pictures of your looped waterpump, or freeze plugged setups.

Can you take a picture of it for me please? Mine has two lines going from the waterpump to the oil filter area.

This is how I did my oil cooler delete.. Rubber plug in radiator, and freeze plug in WP.
I already posted this on another thread a few months back, some quick searching would probably have found it..

Use a torch and hammer to get the hose connections out of the water pump. tap with 3/8 and 1/2 pipe threads, no drilling required.

U can do it the easy way and buy a hose for a 96. My 95 had an oil cooler as well. 96 did not, so the hose for that just goes from the water pump to the radiator instead to the oil filter. (basically just bypasses) requires zero work and is idiot proof!

Now that's that I need!

But that's what I'm missing. I didn't know that certain LT1 cars didn't have the oil cooler.

What would be the best way to plug the new hole at the oil filter location?

I just used a hammer no heat.

It took some work.
