Deleting power steering , quick question

Whats up fellas, im in the beginning of my new build, pulled the motor and trans yesterday, im gonna be doing away with the power steering and going to a manual rack, my question is about the radiator hose that has the cooling lines for the power steering pump, do u guys completely delete it or do u just plug the holes on it ? Maybe a dumbass question but im not sure

you could just leave them open, or cap them.
I get a non PS cooler hose, there like $20-25, looks alot better, less bulk and fittingsjunk in the way, and lighter

^^^ Thats what I am doing. I would remove the cooler and put a hard coolant pipe in its place.

any parts store, its just a OEM rad. hose for a car without the cooler.

Ebay, autotrader a LS1 4thgen and look for a engine pic without the cooler for the local dealer.
