That's the oil cooler bypass. It can be disconnected and blocked.

If it comes out of that Port on the wp and goes to the bottom of the rad. It's the oil cooler bypass hose, It can be blocked. Just as Ramair stated above.

Two people have told you to JUST BLOCK IT AND REMOVE.

You can cap the radiator holes with a pair of bolts- new ones come with plugs in them in case you don't have the cooler...
