Default A/C TB bypass mod???

we've all seen the TB bypass kits for the radiator line to the TB. so i had a crazy idea about running a line from the low pressure side of the A/C system (the cold side) through the TB where the coolant used to run? this way it would actually cool the TB. its just an idea...more like a theory...but whats ya'll thoughts/opinions/pros/cons?

I was thinking of that idea at one time, then I drove the car on the road after doing a couple of other mods with the intake, popped the Hood, felt the Throttle Body, and it was wicked cold compared to everything else. I didn't run anything through it, it is just how much air I pull into the Intake.

Not too mention the gaskets in the throttle body are nowhere capable of holding in the pressure..
