Default Coolant through intake

I will be putting my motor back together in a couple of weeks and was wondering if I can delete the metal tubing that bolts on under the intake that is shaped like an "X" isn't this where coolant goes through?? If I was to bypass the throttle body wouldn't it make sense to just delete this. Any help would be appreciated..

go get two plugs for the back and get the ls6 style for the front and do the coolant bypass mod, nothing will be under your intake.

Those are the steam vent lines for your cooling system & venting the heads is needed. As noted above, a good solution is the LS6 style line in the front. Although tying the front & rear vents together isn't a bad idea, the LS6 style front vent piping is enough. The two front vents will connect together & then to the top of the radiator or radiator hose.

So this will eliminate the "X" shaped coolant lines right?
