You can't delete it. Its a vent line to remove water vapor (steam) and air from the back of the heads. It dumps into an air/vapor separator in the end of the radiator.

...after passing through your throttle body, heating the intake charge.

If you want, you could cut the line in the middle and reconnect them with a piece of coolant hose and worm clamps.

Ya, I thought it passed through the throttle body.
Nice idea RamAir95, but i just twisted it till it broke. I was rounding the head of the bolt trying to get it off.
