Coolant bleed pipe question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im finishing up my 4.8 swap and ran into an issue with these pipes. Under the throttle body are 2 small nipples for the coolant. One has a rubber hose going to the drivers side head and the other had a long hose going to I assume the radiator. The problem is I am using my stock SBC radiator and I don't know what to do with this other side. Can I simple put a rubber cap and clamp it shut? Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks
Jeff
