You don't even need to plug the tb, it just passes the hot coolant through one end and out the other. Basically keeping it warm at all times to prevent the thottle from sticking in vary cold conditions. My work vans tb will stick when its around six degrees out because of the cold. as for the two hoses you can get put the hoses together or get a single hose long enough to replace the two. Getting rid of it will keep the coolant from heating the tb, in turn heating the incoming air. It won't be a noticable difference but won't hurt to do either.
