Default Really NOOB question about TB bypass

Hey ppl I decided to do the TB by-pass. My old coolant line on the LH side on the steam pipe was so stuck on I had to tear it in half and then I removed both sides. COULD I take the coolant line for the RH and just connect it to the steam pipe. My gut says that it should be fine but I wanted to check with you guys and your opinions. i bought extra coolant line hoses in case that I was mistaken and I had to connect both hoses and use the adaptor that I bought for this bypass.

Thanks,

Devin M

basically you take the hose that connects to the driver side of the throttle body and connect it to the steam pipe thats on the passenger side. no cutting needed. just clamp it

^^^ thats what I did as well. There is plenty of hose and you dont need the "bypass kit" that you see on ebay and other places. thats the biggest rip off ever.
