Default heater hose help

Finishing up my lq4 swap in my 72 and was wondering what everyone does when they aren't using heat? I tried looping a hose around but there isn't enough room and it leaks. Do they make caps or something for this?

the problem is that there isn't enough room. It hits the frame.
