The question is , I have the heater hose routing as normal. But I also have a heater hose coming from the lower left side of block. There is a pipe nipple coming out of left lower block and then an elbow with a valve. This transitions to a heater hose that loops over top of engine to a Y splice on heater hose. It was / is for an electric heat pump, for winter.. Can I just eliminate the pipe nipple, plug it off and remove.the heat pump and Y. ? OH Yeah, this is on a 51 3800 with a 216 engine . Thanks guys.

I figured it out. The place on the left side is the block drain they were using for a source of coolant for the heat pump.
