like the song goes... Let it be!
There's one on both sides. An inlet,a nd an outlet. Dont' need em.
Unless you consistantly drive on cruise control in sub zero temps

Sorry, I should have been more discriptive. I am talking about the hard line that runs under the manifold. it has a leg off of it that runs from the TB. While I am not using the coolant on the TB I need some ideas about how to plug this line off.

Try a search on this. There are a lot of threads about it. There are varying opinions on whether to block it or route it into the cooling system. The reason it is there is to vent steam out of the heads. Running through the throttle body is a secondary purpose.

Very true. In a build we did we saw a big temperature drop after running the vent tube to the radiaitor. Some have drilled and tapped them into the top of the water pump. We went ahead and took our radiator to a shop and had them weld in a tube so we could run it to the vent steam tube. If I remember correctly we saw like a 20 or 30 degree drop. I wouldn't just plug it up, but thats just my opinion. Good luck on what you decide to do.
