Default throttle body bypass questions...

I've been reading on this and it seems the bypass differs from the 93-95 & 95-97 lt1s.

This was the first write up i was going off of.

which wants me to connect the two hose from the throttle body. After taking a look at this...
http://shbox.com/1/tb_bypass.jpg I can just plug the long hose from the radiator into the metal pipe that's on the side of the intake? No fiting or anything just plug her in? Freaking simple if so...

You are correct. On 97's you can eliminate the small elbow shaped hose and then just connect the longer hose to the metal steam pipe.

This is what I did. Just cap off the throttle body openings.

so i HAVE to keep the big T shaped line? is there a more complex better looking way to clean up the clusterfuck of an engine bay? a lot of the crap they have on these engines is unneccesary and looks like it was just thrown together, ie: fuel lines, ecm wires, coolant lines, hood cable, plug wires, etc, etc! its disgusting to look under the hood
