Default throttle body lines

I did a throttlebody bypass right when i got my car. I cant find if anyone has done this, but i would like to cut the coolant lines off the iac housing. Is this ok to do? It would just look that much better. And the engine is out right now and pretty much done and ready to go back in all new lookin

Yea, dude I bought my BBK from years ago had done it, I assume with a band saw. He just cut along the IAC housing part and lopped off all the coolant related area.
