Was wondering if after I delete core is there a kit or special piece to cap filler neck so I can also remove the nasty looking heater core lines that run in front of block.
 
spaz, in no way am i trying to be condescending, but after looking at your mods is it REALLY worth it? from an aesthetic point of view i totally understand, i love the look of an engine bay nice and clean and especially knowing the person who did it really, really really loves his/her car cause its a ton of work when done right. but in the long run your still dealing with a n/a car here. and unless you plan on making it turbo and taking it to the track there is no point to removing all that stuff.
now if your into weight savings, why dont you save the heater core and take out all your speakers, carpeting, passenger and rear seats, spare tire. maybe even lighter wheels. you would definitely get was more weight than 3lbs and you would still have a heater. if you want the straight forward answer i think its pretty simple to remove heater core. just jumper the in/out lines together and tuck them away, thus bypassing the heater core. not sure if you can block off those passages or not, if they run in sereis with the rest of the cooling sytem you would overheat in about 30 seconds. just try and bypass it if you must.
again, i respect what your trying to do if i understand it (weight savings?) but think your barking up the wrong tree. good luck with whatever you choose though. to each his own right?

I'm going to be dropping in a stage 2 420a and turboingo for next season. So deletes are done now so they done for new engine
 
You never did answer the question. You say you want to eliminate the fill cap, ate you getting a radiator with a fill cap built in?
 
Also I have removed rear seats, spare, and sound deadening... I already said a couple posts ^ that I'm going to keep the core after feedback I received:screwy:
