12a question

[dr.occa]

I think my question is related:

I just recently replaced my sp 12A (lost compression) with a stock 12A. It was running the "bee hive" cooler so I pulled it already and am running a front mount. Can the hard coolant line that's still back there be unscrewed and that port plugged or ...? I didn't want to attempt to remove it yet and potentially shoot myself in the foot and introduce a new problem that didn't exist. Right now I've capped both openings but they're still leaking a bit.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about with the orange arrow pointing out the hardline I'm referring to. (it's not my engine by the way):

i think those r just pressed into the housing. last one i did i just cut it off just behind where it T's off towards the firewall so there's just the single piece sticking out.
