This stuff works great on the waterpump and is available at any autoparts store:

The only thing you can bypass is the throttle body. Do a search and you'll find more info than you could ever need.

You could eliminate the heater, but it might not be too good if you live in a cold climate.

feel free, the only hoses you have to have are the upper and lower rad hoses, you can block the rest if so desired
