Thanks,

I remeber a post a while back where a guy found a pre formed hose at autozone that was perfect for bypassing the heater core. It was a u-bent hose with 5/8" on one end 3/4" on the other and just slid over the inlet and outlet on the water pump. Others just loop the factory hose.

how tough was it to pull the pipes??
I've been thinking about doing it, I just looped it to get on the road. I want to go back and clean up the engine bay.

you need to take the water pump off the car and put it in a vice... Then blow torch the lips that go around the pipe (do one at a time) and then get your big knuckle busters out and start off trying to spin each pipe in its hole and slowly work it out...
takes about 5-10 min. on each pipe having to heat it and work it out...
then tapping it takes about 1-2 min each hole.
