I am cleaning throttle bodies on a couple of Z cars this weekend. While I'm removing the TBs, I figured I'd go head and do this hose delete on my Z. Definitely straightforward, but I'm going to ask for one clarification regarding the bypass hose.

The bypass hose should go from the Heater Pipe (E) located below the driver side TB to the Water Outlet (C) located at the rear of the engine, correct? And my understanding of Synolimit's post is I can leave the hose connected to the Water Outlet (C), disconnect it from the passenger side TB, rotate it around the engine, and connect it to the Heater Pipe (E).
