Default 944 Ls1 Tech Question

I have dropped my 944 onto a 2001 ls1 and in the final processes of hooking everything up.

I believe I have the pcv tubes hooked up right(well blocked off), now I am worried about the coolant hose that runs under the throttle body bridging the two heads together. I ran a hose from there to a plug in on the radiator. I am not sure if that is the correct place for it or not. I did do a search and came across some one sayign that people block this off.

I just want to know the best way to run this. I do not have emissions and am running a stand alone ecu system if that makes any difference on it.

Go to external and just search pcv and read a bunch of threads. A plugged pcv will GREATLY reduce engine life... You can replace it with breathers on both valve covers but that has other drawbacks. If it were me I would consider the LS6 pcv conversion.

As for the crossover many delete it and LS6 motors never had it so you are fine there. I deleted mine when my 90/90 went on...
