Only issue I have with this is capping the ports. The system I'd guess needs to flow in a circular direction. By not connecting C to E makes me uneasy. To do this very easy just take the passenger side front hose that connects to C in the back of the motor and flip it around to attach to E on the drivers side. Then remove all the other hoses. This way coolant still flows as designed and no more heat to the TB's. I've done this on every car I've owned. Before the TB is about 200 degrees hot like the coolant. After they are damn near ambient temp. Only way to test is drive down the road, quickly pull over and touch the TB's before and after. Touching them after sitting wont do anything since the TB's will heat up from engine bay heat soak.

FYI I lived in Ohio my hole life and never had a freezing issue.
