Iirc, the original routing has coolant plumbed from front of intake, to tbi adapter, then out of tbi adapter to heater core. It's basically just run inline with the heater core.

I don't remember why, but I bypassed the adapter when I swapped in a replacement engine into my '90. It's plumbed like so:

Yep, that's what I plan to do. Want to replace unknown age heater hoses anyway, cheap insurance. Gonna do a backflush with the current hose and one of those prestone adapters i have laying around, then put the new hoses on - maybe do a shutoff valve for the heater core. Summer in AL is HOT!! Need all the help I can get.
