Quick question, feel stupid asking it...
I'm replacing the radiator with a new alloy VS V8 radiator, and installing a external transcooler. So if I don't want to use the cooler in the radiator, I just leave the lines blank, because there will be no fluid in that part of the radiator....
I don't need to block off the ports in the radiator at all yeah?

The AU fans are currently hitting one of the lines.. Is it a better idea to try to bend the line so it clears the fans?

won't matter if they're left open, only block them if you plan on using the internal cooler again to stop crap getting in there.

Thanks for the quick reply's guys!!
Will be replacing the radiator tomorrow hopefully!!
Will attempt to block the lines, but eh, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Will be running a fairly large transcooler anyway!! Haha!

Thanks again guys!!
