Default conversion help???

I will be throwing in the enigine tomorow in my 85 iroc. I have a couple of questions that need some answering any help would be welcomed.

1. The previous owner had a fire under the hood so he ended up removing all of the heater core and ac box. Is their any way I can get atleast get the heater to work. Also what should I do with the Two hoses that come out of the water pump. Do I run them to the firewall or do i just cancel them. Will canceling affect anything.

2.Does any one know witch is the pressure and witch is the return for the fuel lines. I read somewhere that the bigger of the two was the pressure and the smaller one was the return. Not sure on that though.

1. There is a long thread discussion here on the water pump outlets being looped. Do a search. You can't get the heater to work without the heater box! Get one from the salvage yard.
2. The big line is the feed (pressure).
