Default Heater Hose/Core Delete

Who's done it and how did you do it? I've got the heater core isolated so that's not an issue. I'd pull it out but I'm not tearing into the dash at the moment just to pull that thing out. As far as the plumbing is concerned how did you guys go about doing it? I'm pretty sure I can't just cap the waterpump outlets!!

I wouldn't do that, I'd just retain the hose that has the Y on it, and cut it after the y and loop it to the other port on the waterpump
