Blocking heater nipples Are you guys using pipe plugs or something on these things? I'm doing a conversion into a 67 bird and don't have a heater core, and don't want one, I need these things sealed up. Would rather not weld them shut in case I use the pump as a core for a new one. Advice? Thanks fellas.

There was a thread where blocking off the heater in/out on the pump caused engine temp problems. I searched but can't find it.
Here's one other thread on the subject:

FWIW, if you want plugs, they tap out to 3/8" & 1/2" NPT. I have the hoses run to my Vintage Air Gen III, but the "heat" valve remains closed (in effect, plugged) 90% of the year and I've had no problems...
