Drill out a block of aluminum to fit over the hose barbs on the water pump and weld the block on there. Then shape it to make the piece "dissapear" from sight. Just make sure the flow isn't hindered.

I pulled out the barbs that the heater hoses attach to, drilled and tapped the holes, and put plugs in. I don't think I have any pics but you get the idea.

Just did a small hose in and out of the pump. Why spend money on something so stupid as a heater delete appearance tube when a six inch rubber hose gets it done?

I did the same as scooter. I drilled hole through existing nipples and attached slide hammer yanked out. Then tapped holes w/ I believe a 3/8 and 1/2 inch NPT thred and put in plugs. Looks good

I would have thought you could have just plugged them, but I also thought I read on here that causes overheating....
Hell if you want it to look "pretty" get some braided hose and pipe->-AN fittings and do like suggested above and drill/tap the holes.

I have an LT1 that I plugged. See attached pic. Just pull out the stubs, tap, and plug. If you wanted to do it easy you could just find rubber caps at a hardware store to put on the existing heater stubs. I have done both and neither one causes overheating problems.
