Default Ditch coolant crossover completely?

Just need a quick sanity check here....

Isn't it possible to just run another pair of the back coolant plugs up front if you are planning to do the TB bypass?

Just planning out what I need for the LSX upgrade and am interested in reducing clutter while I'm at it.

Thanks!

I wouldn't not mess with the coolant path.

I think the crossover tube also helps in preventing air pockets from forming.

That is true. The front crossover helps "burp" the engine.

On the same note how about the rear collant crossover is that ok to plug I read some guys buy a second tube for the back and others plug the crossover. Even on jmx's install he gives you both ways which way is best?
