    The pump draws from the bottom hose and pumps it into the block. It passes the cylinders, then goes up through the back of the head/block interface and forward through the heads to the thermostat housing, and the top hose. Your hose connection replacing the heater will work, but its not necessary, you can just plug the holes.
