Heater lines removal/elimination

Heater lines removal/elimination
What about just a "U" or "loop" right there by the pump to eliminate the lines traveling to the core all together?
Or just plugging them up leaving just plugged stubs of hose on the pump?
Which would be better? I am removing the core (whole HVAC module) this coming weekend and I need to decide which is suitable way to eliminate the lines.
I'm thinking the U loop is best so as to not affect the way the pump was designed to work.Plugging them could have a adverse affect on the flow... cavatation or something like that disrupted just a shot in the dark.

I ran a U-loop for a while during my "no HVAC" phase. I've since returned to a heater-core-only setup. The only downside of the U-loop is that you will lose the bleeder screw that was on that set of lines to the heater core.

Well this isnt a phase"its a race car" I would not even think of doing it to the 99Z I need all the creature comforts in it.
Well I will probably do the loop.It appears I can leave the aluminum bleed attachment on(really close to the pump) there are curves in that line and the lower line in close proximity that would facilitate the loop with the exsisting lines.By just loosening the lower line spin 180 up. Then hack it off at the right spot and right type coupling,TB bypass and viola...we'll see.
But now one concern is will the lines being removed back to the core and the loop I'm thinking of. Will the bleeder still work for the whole system in their absence?
