Line from radiator to throttle body

I just put a v6 front end on my z28 camaro. I had frame damage. I have the radiator from the v6 and the motor from the z28. Is there any way to have that line bypassed somehow, instead of me buying another radiator. I have a 2000 A4 for anyone who wants to know.

all that line does is heat up the throttle body when its cold outside......you can bypass it.

would you think that it would do any good (performance wise) to bypass it. I was thinking about just installing a "T" to the right side of the hose on the throttle body and sticking it there. It would just recirculate.

throttle body bypass is one of the most common "free mods"

it is dyno proven to produce a few ponies since the air intake charge isn't as hot (ie it's more dense).

there are "kits" available with the proper fittings, but it can be done much cheaper with parts from the store...
