And at some point I need to figure out which ancillary water pipes I can remove from the motor. I figure I don't need the de-icing coolant that flows around the butterfly, or the pipes that route water to the heater core, right? Can I just remove that stuff and cap it at the block, or do I need to just jumper the pipes together to bypass the flow and leave the pipes there?

I'd much rather ditch anything on the motor that's unnecessary.
