I would not block them off. The normal rout to take is to use one hose to make a loop across the supply and return.

Might be better to loop them, but it probably won't hurt if you just capped them off.

you will be fine capping them off. I pulled the pipes out of mine and put some freeze plugs in the ports for a much cleaner look. Any Napa will have the plugs if you want to go that route.
